Hi David, I am running slink also. I wouldn't say "straight slink" as I have done MANY apt-get(s) for packages that put other packages on etc., too many for me to keep track of, so I don't...
I got the 1.2 JDK running a few weeks ago, but after some reading I got the impression the pre-release #1 (March) was what to install on a slink system. I haven't played with it in about a week, but I think I needed to specify the path on either the appletviewer or the javac compiler. I would try it right now, but I archived the tree to a Zip Disk at the moment. Things did work as expected, the few examples I played with all worked OK. If you don't get to the root of your problem, or get some assistance, I can restore my java tree and perform some tests for you. Again, I remember reading about the different pre-releases, and at the time decided that release #1 was what I wanted. You may want to check out the pages at blackdown... Hope this helps a little.
I have a stock Slink system running on a K6 350 100 MHZ MB 128 MB RAM, 8G ide drive, SiS 6326 8MB video. I have jdk1.1 deb package installed. I need jdk1.2 I downloaded jdk1.2.2 r3 from blackdown, untarred it in /usr/local. I set the path per install instructions from blackdown: export PATH=/usr/bin/jdk1.2.2/bin:$PATH Attemtping to run java from here fails: java or cd /usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin #./java each result in the following errors: ./java: /bin/realpath: No such file or directory ./java: /bin/realpath: No such file or directory java was not found in /bin/i386/native_threads/java Someone, please help me determine what I need to do to make jkd 1.2 run. --David
