Followed installation instructions running on XP SP2 with latest updates
1. Updated to j601c_win.exe into default directory c:\j601
2. Downloaded package manager library_6.01.009_win.zip
I did much the same thing. I don't know the version of the package
manager I installed (and I don't see a version selection in its menu),
but I believe I did it December 13, as I have a number of files with a
timestamp of Dec 13 at 11:13 PST. I am running J601c and XP SP2.
3. Copied into with overwrite into c:\j601
I did it into c:/program files/j601/system, as (now) instructed.
4. Added wget and unzip to systems32 directory
Do they have to be there? I have cygwin installed, which provides both
tools:
,----
| Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
| $ type wget
| wget is /usr/bin/wget
|
| Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
| $ type unzip
| unzip is /usr/bin/unzip
`----
/usr is really C:/cygwin/usr
5. Ran j.exe but no option visible in Edit|Configure|External Programs
for adding unzip
I do have that option; I set the Windows Unzip location to
c:\cygwin\usr\bin\unzip. I saw no place to set the location of wget,
but even Windows' command prompt can find my wget:
,----
| Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
| (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
|
| C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Harris>which wget
| /usr/bin/wget
|
| C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Harris>which unzip
| /usr/bin/unzip
|
| C:\Documents and Settings\Bill Harris>
`----
6. No menu item in Run menu for Package Manager
I do have that menu item. When I select Run > Package Manager, it pops
up, along with a "Setup Repository" window wanting to know if I want to
set it up. If I click "Yes", it says, "Could not install the local
repository catalog. Check that both wget and an unzip program are
available." As you can see above, they are, and they are in the search
path for both Windows and cygwin (if there is any difference).
When I click "OK", I get a popup window from Grid saying "Only text cell
types may have more than one line." Clicking "OK" there gives me a
wdhandler popup saying
,----
| error in: jijs_runpacman_button
|
| lengh error: initsizes
| ColWidths=:ColMinWidth >.wid
`----
Clicking "OK" gives me a dysfunctional package manager with this message
left in the bottom pane:
,----
| Updating server catalog...
| Could not install the local repository catalog - Check that both wget and an
unzip program are available.
| Working offline using local copy of catalog.
`----
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill
