Description of Problem: JBuilder4 will not install under Red Hat 7.1. Installation program hangs with no message because it "thinks" it was run in a non-X Windows context (that it will hang when started outside of an X context is known to Borland, and their work-around is to run the install script under X windows). Looks like the X server for Intel 815 does not respond properly and the install script stalls. Another minor problem is that certain adobe symbol fonts are not found when programs from the Java SDK 1.4.0 are run. NOTE: Neither of these problems occurs on my laptop running Red Hat Linux 6.1. How Reproducible: Install Red Hat 7.1 on a desktop using the Intel 815 video chip and try to install JBuilder4. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Red Hat 7.1 on a desktop using the Intel 815 video chip. 2. Try to install JBuilder4. 3. Actual Results:Install script hangs, and sometimes a small empty window pops up but nothing happens, no matter how long you wait. ps command shows several stalled threads. Expected Results:Under Red Hat 6.1 on my laptop JBuilder4 installs without problems. Additional Information:There are also minor font problems with this server if you try to run the new Java SDK 1.4.0, but this is beta, so this is not critical.
This is not a bug. Read the release notes that come with 7.1 to learn how to work around bugs in the various Java JVM's. It is important to realize that these java problems are NOT bugs in our distro, but bugs in Java making bad assumptions about the stack, etc. that have changed. If you are having font problems, please open a new bug report about them. One bug per bug report please. Indicate full details, what exact font is missing, and as much information as you possibly can.
