I am evaluating Fedora, and i read somewhere the NPTL kernel implemented by Redhat was incompatible with Sun's JDK earlier than 1.4.2.
I plan to use Fedora for development, but we have projects that must work with JDK 1.3.1
I have been getting strange compile errors: "compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.sun.io.MalformedInputException arguments=null, null, null, null, null, null, null
I found a fix to this was simply to change the locale:
In /etc/sysconfig/i18n ,the line LANG="en_GB.UTF8"
to:
LANG="en_GB."
Will the above cause any other issues?
What other incompatibilities should i expect between Java1.3.1 and a NPTL kernel?
Has anyone else come across problems with the JDK 1.3.1 or otherwise compiling/running under Fedora?
Have a look in release notes (At fedora.redhat.com, there is mention of how to cope with old threading libs etc. Look for LD_ASSUME_KERNEL or something. That may be needed too.
I am a little suprised 1.3 worked at all on the NPTL kernel..
Cheers, Michael
