Hi Stanton,

Tks for your advice and URLs

# rpm -qa firefox
firefox-1.5.0.2-1.2.fc5

I suppose 32bit Firefox running on this FC5_64 box


I'm prepare installing the open source Java environment available
within Fedora Core

According to;
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html

Java:

* Fedora Core provides an open source implementation of Java. See 
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc5/test3-latest-en/#sn-Java

16. Java

A free and open source Java environment is available within this Fedora
Core release.

It has three components: GNU Java runtime ("libgcj"), the Eclipse Java
compiler ("ecj"), and a set of wrappers and links ("java-gcj-compat")
that present the runtime and compiler to the user in the same way as
other Java environments are presented. 


# rpm -qa libgcj ecj
libgcj-4.1.0-3
libgcj-4.1.0-3

ecj not installed yet.


# rpm -qa java-*
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_83rh

The above package has been installed.


# yum search java*compat
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.x86_64             1.4.2.0-40jpp_83rh     core
Matched from:
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat

installed
Matched from:

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel


# yum search ecj
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
...
eclipse-ecj.x86_64                       1:3.1.2-1jpp_13fc      core
Matched from:
eclipse-ecj
* End *

Where can I find 32 bit eclipse-ecj ?


Shall I remove;
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_83rh
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.x86_64

and install;
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel


Would the removal of "java-1.4.2-gcj-compat.x86_64" causing the OS
working unstable?  Or just leave it there?

TIA

B.R.
SL
