I actually went to your site to read it over. You see, I too was getting some problem executing J on my Ubuntu 10.04 PowerPC . Hehehehe. I bought this iBook in 2004 for my Mom (not really but she twisted my arm) and I got it back this year.
I installed MacOSX 10.5 and J ]602 for PPC ... it was working without any problems. Then OSX started freezing up and my wife looked into it and found out that the iBook on-board memory (first 512mb) is bad and the system is only running on the 256mb memory we added. To make a long story short, the system is so slow on OSX 10.4 and up that I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 ... A lot of pre-compiled products doesn't work though (including J) ... but those that provide source code is ok (had to recompile). Its a Holiday here so I can mess around. ;) ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martin Kreuzer [[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 29, 2010 3:39 PM To: General forum Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] how to install/run jwd on Ubuntu 10? @bill I think that hint came from you at that time :) @alexander: Had a similar problem with v6.02a on a Debian system; here http://www.airkreuzer.org/j/j4n.shtml I jotted down (see section 'Installing J' ) what I did to get it running, maybe this will work with your setuas well.
