But I got an error that don't recognized so I renamed it to ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz and tried to make-jpg again. Now it runs but I got a lot of warnings like this:

make-jpkg should have put the needed packages into Recommends. They are
not direct Depends because might want to use the generated Debian
package in a headless environment without X installed (one a server).
You are then responsible yourself to install the recommended/suggested
packages.

Does the generated DEB recommend libstdc++5, ligtk 1.2, etc.?


Cheers,
Michael
