I installed the java SDK RPM from java.sun.com. Recently, however, I noticed that /usr/bin/java, /usr/bin/javac, and /usr/bin/jar point to scripts in /etc/alternatives. I figured out that these replacements are from libgcj. It doesn't look like I can until this other RPM as there are others that depend on it. My question is why do they replace a legitimate program (java) with a script that doesn't do anything. That just seems to break everything. I remove the link so the real java program is picked up correctly. Does anyone know what this is for and why its done? ----- Ryan Golhar Computational Biologist The Informatics Institute at The University of Medicine & Dentistry of NJ Phone: 973-972-5034 Fax: 973-972-7412 Email: golharam@xxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
