What is gcj ? I assumed it was an addition to the Gnu Compiler Collection and that it generated byte code that would be interpreted and executed by a JVM. /usr/bin/java behaves like a JVM, so what is it really ? I used the term upgrade quite loosely. It is actually new hardware (well, a recylcled windoze box) that I installed RH9 on. On RH7.2, which did not come with a JVM I had been using IBM's 1.4.1. I had problems with this on RH9 and had to obtain Sun's 1.4.1. It was this inconvenience that prompted my query. If I have misunderstood anything, please enlighten me. As for MySQL, pity ! I wasted some time yesterday attempting to execute a stored proc on version 3 Ah well, it keeps me out of the pub :-) -----Original Message----- From: John Haxby [mailto:jch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 2:25 PM To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RH9.2 and MySQL and Java Mike Kenny - CPX Mngd Services wrote: >Recently installed RH9.2 and was disappointed to discover that it is shipped >with a 1.3.1 JVM and MySQL 3.23. > >How regularly are these (supplemental ?) packages updated in the >distributions ? > > That's odd. I didn't think that there was a JVM on the RH distribution, unless you're talking about what's available with gcj and that's not really a JVM. Did you install your JVM on the version of RH that you've just upgraded from by any chance? I don't think that MySQL 4 is considered sufficiently stable yet, or at least not at the time that the contents of RH9 were being finalized. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
