I visited the Sun site tonight and saw a download that was titled AMD64.

Could this be the 64 bit java we have been waiting for? Or, am I just mis-interpreting it. I downloaded it tonight, built the rpm and looked inside. Didn't really see anything that looked like 64 bit. ????
How does 64-bit Java look like? You will not be able to destinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit java. If both versions should exist side by side just download the self-extracting version (contains the file jre-1_5_0_04-linux-amd64.bin) and provide a custom installation directory (i.e. /usr/lib/java5_64) during setup.
Welllll.... you are correct. What DOES it look like? Hmmm how do we know? Is this 64 bit or is it not ???
What gives 'java -d64 -server -version'? You should see something like % java -d64 -server -version java version "1.4.2_05" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode) If you get the "ERROR: no 'server' JVM at..." error, just omit the -server switch. If 64-bit it will not recognize the -d64 switch. Additionally, check your path (to make sure you're running the correct version) and/or try to install the default package, not the RPM. You can then decide where to put the Java binaries. Hope we get this issue solved soon. \Steve
