Hello, this is my problem: I used Windows XP and would like to install the graph visualization software CaGe, obtainable at
http://www.math.uni-bielefeld.de/~CaGe/ which is built in, and requires Java; the system requirements include the following passage: a Java installation (with Java Native Interface [JNI] files -- which means that a Runtime Environment [JRE] won't be enough, you need the full Software Development Kit [SDK]. Tested with JavaSoft's JDK 1.1.7 and Borland JBuilder's 1.3). However, no Windows version of CaGe exists and thus I have settled for Cygwin. I have little experience with Java and virtually no experience with Cygwin, so please view my inability to make sense of the errors which I describe below in this light. I am not even able to find out whether I have the necessary JNI files (I do not now what this is) or how to obtain from SUN's site the files I need. Nor can I read off from the error messages below whether the only problem are the missing JNI files or whether there are Cygwin related things to do in order to get CaGe running. I have done a complete installation of Cygwin and it seems to work fine, just as some tutorial expect it to work. Now I describe the errors that arise during the installation: When I start the installation of CaGe after downloading and unzipping the files by ./INSTALL.sh, then the following things happen: I quote: " * Looking for a C compiler ... Ok, using '/usr/bin/gcc'. * Looking for commands: 'unzip', 'make', 'mkdir', 'chmod', 'find' ... All found. * Looking for a Java installation ...

I have searched with Google for quite a long time on the topic of Java and Cygwin and CaGe, but have hardly found more than http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-02/msg00477.html und http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/ and all this does not help me. The hint to get acquainted with the cygpath command does not help me either. It seems that until now nobody with my problem (Windows, want to install CaGe, total beginner with Cygwin) has left his/her traces on the web. Can anybody help me? What is the problem? What do I have to do or learn, where to look next, in order to get CaGe running? At the moment I do not even know to look, especially on SUN's site. Could anyone adept at Cygwin just take a moment and install CaGe and describe what one has to do? If you would like me to post this to some other forum, please let me know, I am even grateful for help of this kind.
