My install isn't quite normal, because I copy the .so files to /usr/local/lib/ and then run ldconfig. Other than that... everything is normal. I have the j files under a user's account in a j601 directory.
jconsole and jw work fine. I'm using a 32 bit sun jdk (version 1.4.2.10, if I recall correctly). opengl doesn't work from J (though it works fine running glxgears), but I believe that's because /lib/libOSMesa.so.4.0 (which is what /lib/libOSMesa.so.4 is a symlink to) is a 64 bit library. cd doesn't support passing 64 bit arguments from a 32 bit system, and basically opengl doesn't work for me. Once I get more time, I'll try building a 32 bit version of libOSMesa, and then I'll see if I can figure out how to get J to find that in preference to the 64 bit copy I'm using. Worst comes to worse, I'll make a chroot system to run J from (but that's unpleasant for other reasons). I don't have access to the machine right now, but tomorrow I'll look at Mesa 6.4.2.

It runs as a 32 bit app. We have not done the builds and beta release yet of the 64 bit J Engine and related bits and pieces. Did you do a normal install of the linux k beta? If so, does jconsole run properly? If not, sort that out first. Do you have a 32 bit Java installed for running the j.jar? Note you need a 32 bit Java (not the new 64 bit versions) as j.jar uses the the 32 bit libjnative.so and libj601.so. Building the 6.4.1 Mesa for 32 bit opengl had a number of rough edges. There is a newer 6.4.2 that claims to have a smoother build and install. If you are not already comitted to a certain path I suggest getting 6.4.2. Comments back to the forum on build problems and workarounds would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miller, Raul D" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, April 14, 2006 9:55 AM Subject: [Jbeta] k beta and amd64 Any recommendations on getting the k beta to work on a 64 bit system?
