Thanks for the response. I actually went thru
the full exercise when I was compiling Tomcat
engine with Ant. Every thing seems to be set up
properly. This is a part od /etc/profile file
that shows the settings of environmental variables.

PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/jbuilder4/bin:/usr/jdk1.3/bin:/usr/jakarta/jakarta-ant/bin:/usr/j2e
e1.3/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin"
MANPATH=$MANPATH:/usr/local/pgsql/man

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/jdk1.3
export JAVAHOME=/usr/jdk1.3
export J2EE_HOME=/usr/j2ee1.3
export ANT_HOME=/usr/jakarta/jakarta-ant

export JAKARTA_HOME=/usr/jakarta
export TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/jakarta/dist/tomcat
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/lib
export PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data

Did you use j2se 1.3_02 for Linux from Sun
to build the driver?

BTW, I did not have any problem building the
driver under version 7.0.3.

This is what I was not hoping for.
Why does version 7.0.3 not have the problem?

Do you guys suggest I go thru the exercise
of building libperl.so or this is going to
be fixed w/ the official release?

Best,
