the ladybird installation will fail at second time in linux platform.
I get this phenomenon in Red Hat and Turbo Linux.

[root@tdc3 man1]# /usr/java/jdk1.3.1ea/bin/java -version
java version "1.3.1ea"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1ea-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1ea-b03, mixed mode)

When you install ladybird in red hat in the first time, it will succeed .
then, you remove it, and install it again. You will get failed info
like below

jdk ##################################################
cp: cannot create symbolic link `/usr/local/man/man1/java.1': File exists
cp: cannot create symbolic link `/usr/local/man/man1/keytool.1': File exists
cp: cannot create symbolic link `/usr/local/man/man1/rmid.1': File exists
cp: cannot create symbolic link `/usr/local/man/man1/rmiregistry.1': File exists
cp: cannot create symbolic link `/usr/local/man/man1/tnameserv.1': File exists
execution of script failed

You have to remove the above files manually, then the installation
will be OK.

Reproduce steps:
1. rpm -ivh j2sdk-1_3_1-ea-bin-b03-linux-i386-10_oct_2000.rpm
2. rpm -e jdk-1.3.1ea-ea
3. rpm -ivh j2sdk-1_3_1-ea-bin-b03-linux-i386-10_oct_2000.rpm


This bug doesn't exist in firefly.
