Installing JDK

[Carl Parrish]

============================================================
While trying to install the sun 1.3.1 jdk I'm getting the following
error on RedHat 7.2.
/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_03/bin/i386/native_threads/javac: error while loading
shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
doing a locate on libstdc++-libc6 I get
/home/cparrish/Downloads/libstdc++-2.95.3-19cl.i386.rpm
/home/cparrish/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/libstdc++.so.3.0.4
/home/cparrish/OpenOffice.org1.0/program/libstdc++.so.3
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/libstdc++.so
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/libstdc++.a
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.2
/usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.a
/usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.a.3
So I have a more recent version. my question is does anyone know of a
way to either force the jdk to use the newer version. Or what exactly
would I break if I try to force an install of the older library?

Okay it looks like from the install doc at java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install.html that I need to manually install compat-libstdc++-6.21-2.9.0.0.i386.rpm
The problem is I don't see this at rpmfind.net. (looking thought my RH disks now).

found compat-libstdc++-6.21-2.9.0.0.i386.rpm on my CDs. it seems to have worked.

I'm moving this over to the Linux / UNIX forum...
