fix

Some newer versions of Red Hat Linux may have a problem with the assumed kernel version and Java. The work-around is to set an environment variable before running the installation binary. You must also set this variable before running the Utility Console.

You may want to set this variable in the user's .profile or .cshrc, or include it in a simple script.

For example:

• For bash shells

  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.2.5"
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

• For csh shells

  setenv LD_ASSUME_KERNEL 2.2.5
