I need (desperately) to install GNU-Classpath on a console-only VPS to run a small java server. Due to incompatibilities with OpenVZ, I can't get the normal java VM to run. I have the normal VM installed, but I also have JamVM which will work, but needs a classpath. This issue comes down to the fact that GNU-Classpath requires several libraries that I will never user, and do not want to install, including the GTK libraries (no use in console). Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Additionaly, I have no idea if I should put this here or at serverfault, the category which this question falls in seems rather vague to me.

Assuming you're running some fedora or red hat derivative, (which i guess from the tags), you could probably use the ----nodeps option with yum. You may have to install some essential packages as needed by hand, since this will totally turn off dependancy tracking for that install.

Will try, I'll get back about whether it works or not – Roman Hargrave Oct 10 '11 at 18:48
