Hi,
I am new to j programming as I only recently discovered it, but I'm
having trouble installing it on Slackware 14.2. It's a non-debian
system, so the installation instructions don't work for me.
What I did was:
- download the tar.gz file from here:
http://www.jsoftware.com/download/j807/install/j807_linux64.tar.gz
- extract the archive in my home folder
- open a terminal and cd to the extracted folder
- run in terminal: ./jconsole.sh
I immediately received an error message:
--- error message
bin/jconsole: error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
---
However, libedit is installed on my system:
--- locate libedit.so
/usr/lib64/libedit.so
/usr/lib64/libedit.so.0.0.59
/usr/lib64/libedit.so.0
---
but it is named differently. I believe it has to do with different
naming conventions between debian and other distros...
So, how could I go about installing J807 on Slackware? Is there a
possibility to compile it from source (the usual, slackware method)?
Thanks,
Chris
