problem installing jbuilder on SuSE 9.1
by Bryce Martin 25 Jun '04

25 Jun '04

I get this output ./install_linux: line 930: file.lax: Read-only file system Can't load library "/media/cdrecorder/setup/jre/linux/lib/i386/libjava.so", because /media/cdrecorder/setup/jre/linux/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_wait, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Could not create the Java virtual machine. when running ./install_linux which is the installer script. The strange thing is that I successfully installed this thing on SuSE 9.0 without the slightest hitch. I don't understand why it doesn't work for 9.1 Can I do something about this? Also, I have installed the javaSDK on the system but this is probably irrelevant. Cheers for any help you may be able to give.

Answering my own posting now! (is that the same as talking to yourself? - I do it all the time :o) ) OK I found an interesting thread at lists.debian.org <http://lists.debian.org/debian-gtk-gnome/2003/11/msg00314.html> that suggests some strategies for tracking down gnome problems.

As a fellow Slackware user I can tell you that, you will have no problems. I usually keep the old version and have the new version running alongside it until I'm sure that I like it.

Booting multiple Linux versions
by Chris Green 24 Jun '04

24 Jun '04

OK, so to wake up the list a bit, here's a nice simple question. I have a Slackware 9.1 system running and would like to install the (brand new!) Slackware 10.0 as well. The hard disk has a 30Gb partition with 9.1 on it and 30Gb spare on which I can install the new 10.0. So far so good. Installing the Slackware 10.0 should be fairly straightforward I think, I haven't had any big problems with previous versions. However I'm not quite sure how I get the boot menu to present me with the alternative versions. Can anyone give me any guidance. Will I have a problem because of the second (new, 10.0) version being beyond cylinder 1024 or whatever the limitation is? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk)
