The Java code below works under a Solaris machine I have access to, but
not Fedora Core 5. The
thing that's not working is "printf". I'm guessing I have a problem
with a library, but I'm not sure. I'm not well versed in Java, so, can
someone help me figure out how to get printf to work?

// Begin
public class PiTest
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
  double pi = Math.PI;
  System.out.printf("pi = %5.3f%n", pi);
  }
}
// End

What version of Java / JVM you use on Fedora?
Their default Java is GCJ. printf() is recent addition of Java 1.5. I
will probably not work with GCJ and SUN Java versions < 1.5.

On the FC5 machine...
$ java --version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3)

On the Soaris machine...
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_04"

Thanks for the information! I did some quick web searches looking for

= 1.5 for FC5, but I came up empty... Do you know where I can find a Java RPM for FC5 that is >= 1.5? If not, do you know where I can find the source so I can build it? I'm not having much luck... (I would have thought FC5 would have the latest greatest Java code. Odd...)

I even went to http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ thinking for sure they would
have what I need. Maybe I overlooked something...

Thanks again...
