Other platforms, such as Solaris, require the Sun JRE. -NGK After trying Suns 1.4.x and 5 JDK versions, I saw the post above. I've installed fedora-ds via rpm on FC3 and it's in /opt/fedora-ds. I set some environment variables: JAVA_HOME=/opt/fedora-ds/java/ CLASSPATH=/opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/bin:/opt/fedora-ds/java:/opt/fedora-ds/java/jars: /opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/lib:/opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/lib/ext:/opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/bin/classic I added /opt/fedora-ds/bin/base/jre/bin/ to my path. However I get the exact same strings of errors that Mike Jackson posted earlier when executing startconsole. Any ideas what I've got wrong? -- Steve Mahaffey
