can't install jdk-1.5

[birksworks]

We've got an ACMA Helios Dual AMD Opteron Server with 8Gig RAM running Fedora Core 2
and want to use the amd64 version of J2SE 1.5. Unfortunately, running

>./jdk-1_5_0-linux-amd64-rpm.bin

gives

I'm am able the install the 32 bit version, using jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin, but
we need large amounts of RAM for our application and the 32 bit version of
the jdk maxs out at 3712 Mb:

>java -Xmx3712m -Xms256m Bug4697804

runs fine but

>java -Xmx3714m -Xms256m Bug4697804

dies with the error message:

>Error occurred during initialization of VM
>Could not reserve enough space for object heap
>Could not create the Java virtual machine.

Any suggestions on how to get jdk-1_5_0-linux-amd64-rpm.bin to work would be
much appreciated.

Thanks,
Bob

this issue is now resolved. our vendor installed the 32 bit version of fc2 not the x86_64 as we had requested.
