Unix-related topics. ]

Evening all

Certain downloaded nice-to-haves such as Blackdown jdk, x11amp (mp3
player), the Gnat ada compiler, ra ra ra, are failing on start with "No
such file or directory". I asked here about this a while ago, and
someone helped me pinpoint the cause, but I still haven't figured out
what to do about it.

Eg:

allen at sporty:/home/allen/ > strace sh -c
/usr/local/jdk117_v1a/bin/i586/green_threads/java --version

<snip>
stat("/usr/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbfffec88) = -1 ENOENT (No such
file or directory)
stat("/usr/share/locale/libc/C", 0xbfffec88) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat("/usr/local/share/locale/C/libc.cat", 0xbfffec88) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
<snip>

Hmm. This is what it's looking for, but it doesn't exist anywhere on the
machine. Are these files/locations specific to a particular libc?

This is what I have: 

allen at sporty:/lib > ll libc*
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      3061550 Mar 26 06:55 libc-2.0.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           13 Aug  6 21:43 libc.so.4 ->
libc.so.4.7.6
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       634880 Mar 26 06:55 libc.so.4.7.5
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       634880 Mar 26 06:55 libc.so.4.7.6
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           14 Aug  6 21:43 libc.so.5 ->
libc.so.5.4.44
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      1818109 Mar 26 06:55 libc.so.5.4.44
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      3061550 Mar 26 06:55 libc.so.6

What should I be looking for?

Ta for any suggestions.
