Running JBuilder 8 on Debian linux

hi,

small description "how to install jb on debian", if jb installation breaks
with:

This application will now exit. (LAX)
Stack Trace:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

or jbuilder execution (if already installed) fails with

*** OpenTool com.borland.jbuilder.info.JBuilderInfo failed to initialize
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError


[[[ Note - that NoClassDefFoundError happens for other reasons too. For
example, if further down you see
   java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:62)
then the likely cause is that your X display isn't working (test by running
any X program) ]]]

it's happen, because jb uses the jdk from sun's jdk and this
needs old glibc. fist check, which glibc is installed:
debuger:~# ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
ls: /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: No such file or directory

so you can install the old lib (1) or create symbolic link to new (2):
(1) apt-get install libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1
(2)
debuger:~$ la -la /usr/lib/libstdc++-*
.... 256240 Feb 19  2000 /usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so
.... 288444 Feb 27 01:18 /usr/lib/libstdc++-3-libc6.2-2-2.10.0.so

make symbolic link:
debuger:~# ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
/usr/lib/libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so

check it:
debuger:~# ls -la /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2
.... 30 Feb  9 17:45 /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2 ->
libstdc++-2-libc6.1-1-2.9.0.so

now is java runnable :) for test, install sun jdk (1.3.x or 1.4.x) and
start any swing application. if the application is running, you can try
to install jb.

good luck

ps. about installing sun's jdk:
