My current theory is that while rpm thinks there is a java installed, all 
the /usr/lib/java* subdirs are empty.

So I truck meself off the the Sun site and dl jdk-1_5_0_10-linux.rpm.bin, 
the very latest, shinyest version there.  But would you believe it was 
packed with rpm-4.0.4?  And it gives the current 4.4.2, a segfault tummy 
ache.  Repeatedly.

So now I'm back to get the other package to see what falls out of the 
regular linux.bin file.


Ok, that unpacked, now where can I find a .spec file so that I can pack it 
with the newer rpm & then install it?  Or is that not the correct 
procedure now?
