[Java-gnome-developer] RedHat 7.0 compile problem (solution - lack of)

[Jean v. W. <jv...@Af...>]

Hi there,

The bad news is that it has now been verified three times with different
people that RedHat 7.0 with the latest gcc / libstdc++ RPMs from RedHat
has a problem with compiling (the java-gnome) JNI code.

The only way that I could fix it previously was by uninstalling the
offending gcc rpms and re-install the old versions.  As of yet I am not
aware of any other patch / solution for this problem.  If someone has
found a solution or has contacted RedHat over this problem, please let
us know.

I would like to stress that as far as I know this only happens with the
when the following RPMS are installed on a RedHat system

> RedHat 7.0
> gcc 2.96-69
> cpp 2.96-69
> glibc-devel 2.2-12
> libstdc++-devel 2.96-69

This has been verified with:
1) Sun JDK 1.3
2) IBM JDK 1.3
3) IBM JDK 1.1.8

If anyone on a non RedHat distribution has this error can you please let
us know.

Unfortunately this is a problem that we can do not have any control
over.  Hopefully this will be solved soon by RedHat or some RPMS.

Regards
Jean
