Hello , I need some help getting the jini kit working on Linux. I am trying to get jini working on Linux before switching to other platforms. I have the alternative of using Solarisx86 or NT,but I want to do some research before I do that. In short I tried it and doesn' t work here is my configuration : 1- Suse 6.2 ie. glibc2.1 2- jdk1.2-pre-v2 from blackdown 3- reading the bugs' list on blackdown web page I decided to use THREADS_FLAG=green These are the Results: 1- with this settings -green flags the example hangs ( no output java -cp jini-examples.jar com.sun.jini.example.service.StartService 2 - with native threads this one works fine except when the GC thread kicks in I get SIGSEGV 11* segmentation violation stackpointer=0xbedff844 Full thread dump Classic VM (Linux_JDK_1.2_pre-release-v2, native threads): "GC Daemon" (TID:0x4037b2a8, sys_thread_t:0x81f0248, state:R, native ID:0x18 07) prio=2 at java.lang.Runtime.gc(Native Method) at java.lang.System.gc(Compiled Code) at sun.misc.GC$Daemon.run(Compiled Code) "RMI Reaper" (TID:0x4037b390, sys_thread_t:0x8215418, state:CW, native ID:0x 1406) prio=5 at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.remove(Compiled Code) at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.remove(Compiled Code) at sun.rmi.transport.ObjectTable$Reaper.run(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code) "RMI TCP Accept-1" (TID:0x40377bd0, sys_thread_t:0x81b0930, state:R, native ID:0x1005) prio=5 at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead(Native Method) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Compiled Code) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.fill(Compiled Code) at java.io.BufferedInputStream.read(Compiled Code) at sun.rmi.transport.proxy.HttpAwareServerSocket.accept(Compiled Code) at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPTransport.run(Compiled Code) at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code) "Finalizer" (TID:0x4036f320, sys_thread_t:0x80cd088, state:CW, native ID:0xc 04) prio=8 at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.remove(ReferenceQueue.java:112) at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.remove(ReferenceQueue.java:127) at java.lang.ref.Finalizer$FinalizerThread.run(Finalizer.java:174) "Reference Handler" (TID:0x4036f3b0, sys_thread_t:0x80c88d0, state:CW, nativ e ID:0x803) prio=10 at java.lang.Object.wait(Native Method) at java.lang.Object.wait(Object.java:424) at java.lang.ref.Reference$ReferenceHandler.run(Reference.java:114) "SIGQUIT handler" (TID:0x4036f3e0, sys_thread_t:0x80c1368, state:R, native I D:0x402) prio=5 "main" (TID:0x4036f1e0, sys_thread_t:0x804ca70, state:MW, native ID:0x400) p rio=5 at java.lang.ClassLoader.findNative(Compiled Code) [... etc] I suppose this is the bug mentioned on blackdown page. 3- if running still with native threads the jini client (with green this one also hangs) I am getting: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: java.net.SocketException: error set ting options at java.net.PlainDatagramSocketImpl.join(Native Method) at java.net.MulticastSocket.joinGroup(Compiled Code) at net.jini.discovery.LookupDiscovery$AnnouncementListener.<init>(Compil ed Code) at net.jini.discovery.LookupDiscovery$3.run(Compiled Code) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at net.jini.discovery.LookupDiscovery.<init>(Compiled Code) at com.sun.jini.example.browser.Browser.<init>(Compiled Code) at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Native Method) at com.sun.jini.example.browser.Browser.main(Compiled Code) at com.sun.jini.example.browser.Browser.main(Compiled Code) Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Bogdan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
