(Answer) (Category) FAQ-O-Matic : (Category) Linux- and Solaris-specific : (Category) Installation :
JBuilder 4 Foundation won't install on my Mandrake 7.2 system!
Mandrake 7.2 doesn't install the ncompress package by default. The ncompress package is the source for the command 'uncompress', a command needed by the InstallAnywhere script which installs JBuilder itself.

The file ncompress-4.2.4-21mdk.i586.rpm is on your Mandrake "inst" disc. Something like the following sequence of instructions should work. You may need to adjust the path to your cdrom device.

  su - root
  mount /mnt/cdrom
  cd /mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS
  rpm --install ncompress-4.2.4-21mdk.i586.rpm
  exit

Now when you launch the JBuilder4 installer it should now function properly.
