I have debian3.0 (woody) installed). I run gnome.
I tried to install j2se from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.htmdownloaded the Linux self-extracting file: j2sdk-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin then (as root) cd /usr/local/java/ and run ./j2sdk-1_4_0_01-linux-i586. then I run: update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/local/java/j2sdk1.1_01/bin/java 120 update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin/javac 120 I also put in /etc/profile: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/lib:/usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/lib Now I tested the installation: /* Name of file HelloWorldApp.java * T HelloWorldApp class implements an application that * simply displays "Hello World!" to the standard output. */ class HelloWorldApp { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); //Display the string. } } javac HelloWorldApp.java then java HelloWorldApp Hello World! Soit seems to work but: another test: I created one file: /*Name of file: * HelloWorld.java */ import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.Graphics; public class Herld extends Applet { public void paint(Graphics g) { g.drawString("Hello world!", 50, 25); } } and another Hello.html -- <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>The Hello World Applet/TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <APPLET CODE="HelloWorld.class" WIDTH=150 HEIGHT=25> </APPLET> </BODY> <HTML> I run javac HelloWorld.java then appletviewer Hello.html and got the following messages: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/lib/i386/libfontmanager.so: libstdc++-libc6.1-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1473) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1389) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:788) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:832) at sun.security.action.LoadLibraryAction.run(LoadLibraryAction.java:50) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at sun.awt.font.NativeFontWrapper.<clinit>(NativeFontWrapper.java:42) at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.initDisplay(Native Method) at sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment.<clinit>(X11GraphicsEnvironment.java:125) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:140) at java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment(GraphicsEnvironment.java:62) at java.awt.Window.init(Window.java:223) at java.awt.Window.<init>(Window.java:267) at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:398) at java.awt.Frame.<init>(Frame.java:363) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.<init>(AppletViewer.java:139) at sun.applet.StdAppletViewerFactory.createAppletViewer(AppletViewer.java:80) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.parse(AppletViewer.java:1062) at sun.applet.AppletViewer.parse(AppletViewer.java:996) at sun.applet.Main.run(Main.java:138) at sun.applet.Main.main(Main.java:80) Could someone please help to set up the j2sdk under debian? Maybe j2re would be enough? Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
