Even though this probably isn't the "safe" way of doing things, rather than installing old versions of the libs I just create symbolic links from the new versions. My computer hasn't blown up yet... :) But if you're going to be using Java for anything serious (not just pet projects like I do) I'd suggest either blackdown or Sun's distrib with the old C libs. -Alex
