Hi,
Install the latest beta JDE 2.2.9beta9
2.2.9 is way better than 2.2.8
Concerning the difficulty of installation, I did not find it difficult
after reading the installation instructions on jdee home page
http://jdee.sunsite.dk/
I'd suggest alsow to download and compile emacs-21 if there isn't a
binary version of it for AIX already
This mailing list is pretty tolerant friendly to newbies.
regards
slava

First, let me say congrats to those of you out there that made jdee a
reality. It was exactly what I was looking for and I am really looking
forward to using it.
I heard about the project while on the phone to IBM tech support. You can't
beat exposure like that!
I have been reading the postings to this group for several days now, and I
am afraid that this list is for developers/expert users. If there is a list
for newbies, please excuse this posting and, perhaps, let me know where I
should go.
I am attempting to install jde 2.2.8 on an AIX 4.3.3 box. I pulled emacs
20.7.1 (powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0, X toolkit) from and AIX freeware CD that
they distribute with the operating system. I am having problems.
I think speedbar (0.14beta4) went in OK. During the make, typical messages were:
** reference to free variable x-pointer-top-left-arrow
** mouse-major-mode-menu called with 1 argument, but requires 2
** The following functions are not known to be defined:
display-graphic-p, specifier-instance, set-buffer-menubar,
semantic-token-p, semantic-token-name, copy-tree, vc-state
but, in the end, it said
Wrote /opt/freeware/share/emacs/site/speedbar-0.14beta4/speedbar.elc
Done
Does this mean success? I modified my .emacs file. (I am including it at
the end of this email) to load the speedbar code. The speedbar window comes
up. (very slick, by the way)
eieio (0.17beta4) installed with the same sort of error messages. I didn't
know how to test whether it was working correctly, so I moved on to
Semantic.
For Semantic (1.4beta14), I got error messages like:
While compiling the end of the data:
** The following functions are not known to be defined: extent-list,
next-command-event, key-press-event-p, event-to-character,
quit-char, semantic-nonterminal-children,
semantic-bnf-find-source-on-load-path,
semantic-bnf-find-state-position, semantic-current-nonterminal
** re-search-forward called with 3 arguments, but accepts only 0-2
and then, eventually got to:
Wrote /opt/freeware/share/emacs/site/semantic-1.4beta14/senator.elc
Done

Success?
I modified my .emacs file, started a fresh copy of emacs, and the command
line started to act funny. I think I tried to load a file, or expand a
pathname in *shell* and I would get:
wrong number of arguments:#[(subexp)A^X\203^_^@J\203^_^...
The INSTALL file suggests that I may want to remove components that I don't
want to use. I really don't know what components I need. All I really want
to do is use jde.
I am located in the NorthEast US (Massachusetts) If any of you would like
to use your knowledge of jde to make some $$, I would be happy to pack up
my machine and bring it over to you to see if you could help.
Otherwise, any advice on what I am doing wrong would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
