SDK and RTE kits for the Java™ Platform are available for Tru64™ UNIX® V5.1B. (Archived versions are available for V4.0F, V4.0G, and V5.1A and higher.) Patches are not required to run these software kits with the exception of using Oracle IAS 9.0.4 with SDK v 1.4.2. For all other kits, you do NOT need to install any patches. You may proceed directly with downloading kits. And, if you are upgrading from any previous SDK 1.1.n kit, you do NOT need to re-install the patches described below, and may proceed directly with downloading the kit. However, you may want to install the latest operating system patch kit to get recent bug fixes for these versions of our UNIX. See Installation Instructions below for information on how to download and install patches.

Technical support requests relating to Tru64 UNIX and patches should be sent through your normal service and support channels.


Special Note
If you are using the MulticastSocket class in your application and experience a connection time out or hang, you may wish to check question #3.9 of the Java on Tru64 UNIX FAQ for details on correcting this problem involving UNIX patch kits.

Installation Instructions

The patches for Tru64 UNIX V4.0F, V4.0G, V5.1A, and V5.1B are optional only and NOT required to run the SDK and related software.

The patch kits are cumulative patch kits that contain all patches that are available for distribution. The patch kits provide the ability to selectively install patches. However, we recommend that you install all patches.

Mandatory Patch (for Using Oracle IAS 9.0.4 with SDK v 1.4.2)

Motif 2.1 is for use with SDK v 1.4.2-3 (and higher) on Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (and later versions), when using Oracle IAS 9.0.4. For information on how to install this patch kit, please read the following installation instructions.

Instructions for installing the Motif 2.1 patch kit

To install, perform the following steps as superuser:

  1. If a prior version of the kit is installed, use the setld -d command to delete it:

    setld -d DSKMOTIF21510

  2. Download the following binary kit:

    Motif2.1.tar

  3. Untar it into a scratch directory, /tmp/Motif2.1, for example:

    cd /tmp/Motif2.1
    tar xf /tmp/Motif2.1/Motif2.1.tar

  4. The scratch directory now contains a directory named 'kit' that contains the kit plus the following file:

    doc/txt/README

  5. Use the setld command to load from that scratch directory:

    setld -l /tmp/Motif2.1/kit

  6. Provide the necessary responses to install the kit.

  7. Once you have installed the kit you can delete the scratch directory.

  8. If you want to deinstall the kit in the future, perform the following step as superuser:

    setld -d DSKMOTIF21510

Verify Installed Version

To verify that you have installed the correct version of the Motif 2.1 patch kit, use the ls -g command to check the date of the motif library. The command and desired output is shown below:

ls -g /usr/opt/motif2.1/lib/libXm.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 bin 2995520 Apr 16 2004 /usr/opt/motif2.1/lib/libXm.so
