Trying to run up a JVM on a box thats running 4.2 - The JDK version is j2sdk1.4.2_03 and the exact error is below
Assuming this is the sun java package, this is REALLY out of date. Current for the 1.4.2 series is _10.
Unable to load native library: /opt/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_waitpid, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
I'd recommend getting the sun sdk rpms from java.sun.com, and installing the sun-java-compat package from jpackage.org, as it makes things loads easier to get running. Alternatively(slightly more work), you can grab the sdk .bin file from the sun site, and get the appropriate nosrc.rpm from jpackage and build a solid java rpm. jpackage.org is an excellent project and they've got some pretty good docs on their site about how to do this.
