All, While testing IA-32 compatibility on IA-64 I ran into this problem: Initializing Java Virtual Machine from ../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre. Please wait... ldt_clear: modify_ldt: Function not implemented ldt_setup: modify_ldt: Function not implemented At this point the JRE stops working and exits. The Oracle installer runs on IBM's 1.1.8 JRE for Linux (32). Regards, -- "When you see the correct course, act; do not wait for orders."
