I have Mandrake Linux that is a few versions old on my pc (last year). I am in the process of trying to install jdk 1.3.0 and am stuck. The installation document is aware of this possible error and suggests to use the --force command. My version doesn't suppoort this. (man odesn't even know it) Is there a way that I can get this functionality?
Thanks!
:confused:

your version of what? RPM? What command doesn't support the "--force" flag?

This is from the command line:

"stacy's root"> rpm -iv --force j2sdk-1_3_0-linux.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by jdk-1.3-fcs

I get the same error whether I use --force or not. What can I do?
Thanks!

Install or upgrade glibc.

Try this...

"stacy's root"> rpm -iv --force --nodeps j2sdk-1_3_0-linux.rpm

That should do the trick..
