Fatal: JVM can not locate libpthread.so!
Aborted (core dumped)


I cannot run java programs at all!
I have downloaded JDK 1.3.1 for Linux (Redhat 7.0 with updates, eg
kernel-2.2.17-14, glibc-2.2-12) and changed the PATH as shown below. Running
most of the demo applets in Netscape work. However the JFC apps fail, as shown
in the commands and responses below.

Why can libpthread not be found by java or by find?
Thanks in advance. Sorry if its obvious. I have d/l'ed adn followed the
installation instructions in the doco.


$ cd /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/demo/jfc/Notepad

Notes:
java -version gives the same output

I DO have a file
/lib/libpthread-0.9.so

Link
/lib/libpthread.so.0
points to the aboove file
