Well, I don't know much about java either, but 4 out of 5 java programs
I use are not started by "<program_name>", but by "java (-jar)
<program_name>". This would be the "java" command-line, I imagine.
Basically, the idea is that you have to invoke java so that java runs
the program. Because the first argument in the command is "java", you
are then able to use various command-line switches for Java (such as the
aforementioned "-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib") before telling Java what
program you want it to run (in this case "iriverter").
java -help
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
where options include:
-client to select the "client" VM
-server to select the "server" VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the "client" VM [deprecated]
The default VM is client.
-cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
-classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
and ZIP archives to search for class files.
-D<name>=<value>
set a system property
-verbose[:class|gc|jni]
enable verbose output
-version print product version and exit
-version:<value>
require the specified version to run
-showversion print product version and continue
-jre-restrict-search | -jre-no-restrict-search
include/exclude user private JREs in the version search
-? -help print this help message
-X print help on non-standard options
-ea[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
-enableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
enable assertions
-da[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
-disableassertions[:<packagename>...|:<classname>]
disable assertions
-esa | -enablesystemassertions
enable system assertions
-dsa | -disablesystemassertions
disable system assertions
So I think what Trenton probably meant was that you should try starting
the program with
java -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib iriverter
(assuming that iriverter is not a *.jar file in which case you'd need
-jar before iriverter).
You know, there's a high likelihood that the iriverter file in /usr/bin
is a script that is readable in a text editor.
You might want to see if you can have a look at it and see just what
it's doing. A readme that tells you how to run the program (man
iriverter? iriverter --help?) might be of some use, too.
Hope this helps,
Holly
