Patrick:
What is your classpath? try using an explicit full path to the jar file:
like this:
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/home/pdixon/softsqueeze-1.16/lib java -cp $CLASSPATH -jar /home/pdixon/softsqueeze-1.16/SoftSqueeze.jar
Try that where you substitute the real softsqueeze directory for the one I have above.
If you still have problems, supply the following:
echo $JAVA_HOME echo $CLASSPATH locate SoftSqueeze.jar
Thanks,
-MA

Thanks Richard,
I do have the ./lib and ./icons directories under the Softsqueeze dir and have chmod'd everything 755.
If I run the webstart.html prog, it sends me to a java Windows page - but I've already got Java 1.5 installed anyway ;(
Is there any way of getting any diagnostics info, other than the anonymous 'Error' message?
Ironically, it all work perfectly under windows XP! (and its a great app - although 'mute' doesn't toggle on/off quite as I'd expect)

Patrick,
I am sorry you are having problems getting Softsqueeze to start. The error you are getting is usually caused when Softsqueeze cannot find the java library files it uses. In the directory where you have installed Softsqueeze you should have a SoftSqueeze.jar file and lib directory. The lib directory should contain several other '.jar' files. For example:
ls -R .: applet.html lib MiniSqueeze.jar softsqueeze.jnlp icons LICENSE.txt SoftSqueeze.jar webstart.html
./icons: checked.gif icon32.gif icon64.gif screenshot.png splash.gif unchecked.gif
./lib: dtd-xercesImpl.jar jnlp.jar tritonus_mp3.jar jflac-1.0.jar jsch-20040429.jar tritonus_share.jar jl1.0.jar log4j-1.2.8.jar xml-apis.jar
Softsqueeze will run on any machine, you don't have to have the slimserver installed as well (but obviously you do need the slimserver installed and running somewhere). You could try using the Java Web Start option from the slimserver help pages, this is the easiest way to install and start Softsqueeze.
Regards, Richard

theMichael,
Thank you for that.
I have done as you say, and now "java -jar SoftSqueeze.jar" runs it, but
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?
