As I said, everything freezes up after the jw window opens. Clicking on a menu does nothing. Typing on the keyboard does nothing. Clicking on the window close box opens up a dialog with a button to FORCE QUIT the application.
Michael Eric Iverson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Sounds like jw is mostly working. At least the fact that you get a window and some output is a good sign. The wd BUF error is in trying to show the user welcome splash screen. It may be a problem specific to the splash screen and we could try to track that down seperately. Ignoring the wd BUFF error please try a few other things to see what is or is not working. In particular try menu command Studio|Demos|Plot and Studio|Demos|Controls. ----- Original Message ----- From: "michael rice" To: "General forum" Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 5:15 PM Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] J installation on Fedora 7 > Thanks.
