That is almost undoubtedly due to that version of Java being compiled with gcc 2.95, and mozilla being compiled with gcc 3.x. The dates on the files from that mirror are quite old... Try using: ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/java/JDK-1.4.1/i386/01/j2re-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin That is a version compiled with gcc 3.2, and it works for me (whereas the version from that apt archive doesn't). -- Nathan Poznick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> All modern men are descended from a worm-like creature, but it shows more on some people. - Will Cuppy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
