Michael, Thank you for that.
I have done as you say, and now "java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar" runs it, but the program still fails with the "Error starting Softsqueeze" message (no error number, or anything). I assume that SoftSqueeze will run on a machine that doesn't also have Slimserver installed? <rant mode on> Why is everything in Linux so ****ing difficult? I even have to compile a new kernel to get the sound working!! And it's s l o w too. It was much better in the 'good old days' when UNIX never pretended to be friendly. <rant mode off> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Michael Amster Sent: 26 February 2005 18:37 To: Slim Devices Discussion Subject: Re: [slim] Problems running SoftSqueeze with FC3 FC3 uses the alternatives package to allow you to switch between different versions of Java. Try reading the manual on alternatives. I used the following steps to configure Java on my FC3 box: alternatives --remove java /usr/share/java/libgcj-java-placeholder.sh alternatives --remove javac /usr/share/java/libgcj-javac-placeholder.sh alternatives --remove jar /usr/bin/fastjar alternatives --remove jar.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/fastjar.1.gz alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_01/bin/java 1 alternatives --config java Run this as root and adjust your paths to where your JDK is located.
