Thanks. The command line version seems to work fine. I used APL on the job thirty years ago and am enthusiastic about exploring J.
I also tried running the GUI version jw and a window opens up with the following as the first two lines: |domain error: wd | wd BUF At that point it seems to lock up, and neither the menus nor the keyboard can be activated. Typing in java -version tells me I'm using java version "1.5.0" I know how to add a directory to my PATH but I'm not sure where what I might need to add would be located. Thanks again. Michael Eric Iverson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The standard J601 linux install is for the j601 folder to be in your HOME folder. It looks as if instead you have put it HOME/J and I suspect this is the source of your problems. Use mv to move the j601 folder from HOME/J to HOME (or redo the tar -xzf install step from your HOME folder). After this correction your should be able to start both the console version of J (~/j601/jconsole) and the GUI version (~/j601/jw). You can have your j601 folder in other than HOME but it requires a few additional steps. The upcoming J602 linux install is much improved and won't have any of the problems that have plagued you thus far. ----- Original Message ----- From: "michael rice" To: "General forum" Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 12:37 PM Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] J installation on Fedora 7 > Thank you for responding.
