Hi This is from a SuSE newbie, so don't kill me today. I have not used SuSE since 6.2. My problem is a consistent request in yast for libjawt.so for OO. I found a nice explanation for java installation on SuSE 9.0 (download stuff) on: http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/ReadmeFirst I searched for java and got a very nice story on: SuSEKwikis The only thing to change is the last command: root # /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.java - to - root # /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.alljava So my j2sdk1.5.0 is up and running but I can't get rid of libjawt.so in yast and I have tried ldconfig. TIA guran -- SuSE Linux 9.0 kernel-2.4.21-166-athlon Only in a society that has 'a priori' defined what is the truth can the result from the evolution of life be defined false.
