Yum is nice but Fed10 is a moving target. This is on a VM.

I'm not sure what you mean, but you do not have up-to-date packages.  
That's likely the problem.

This is a fresh install.

Here's the java info:

  # java -version
  java version "1.6.0_0"
  IcedTea6 1.4 (fedora-15.b14.fc10-i386) Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b14)

Hello all,

I'll assume this has already been addressed, so a pointer to a good solution to try would help. But if not, here's my prob.

I just got Fedora 10 with ds-base installed:

  yum info fedora-ds-base
  Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
  Installed Packages
  Name       : fedora-ds-base
  Arch       : i386
  Version    : 1.1.3
  Release    : 6.fc10
  Size       : 4.6 M

And everything looks great:

Was this a fresh install or an upgrade?  If an upgrade, did you first 
run setup-ds-admin.pl -u?

  #/usr/bin/fedora-idm-console -a http://localhost:9830

Until I try to Open the Directory Server tree with the following errors....

  Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
  ...

I've read something about an OpenJDK 1.5.0 versioning problem, but I can't seem to find anything earlier than OpenJDK 1.6.0 ...

java -version

Any ideas?
