I managed to set up kaffe on a linux without any difficulty.
I can get the following, when I do > java -version.
[root@son-ag Users]# java -version

I am able to run a simple HelloWorld program, but I hav problem connecting it to mySQL database. I am reporting my findings here, hope can share this with all of you :)
I tried to execute a jar file > java -jar test.jar, I got the following error:-
05-12-2002 12:41:57.239 [INFO] [main] JDBC Driver class: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
05-12-2002 12:41:57.241 [ERROR] [main] Cannot find the database driver classes: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com/mysql/jdbc/Driver
05-12-2002 12:41:57.242 [ERROR] [main] Failed to initialize database connection, exiting...
Obviously, the mySQL-JDBC driver cannot be located.
In a Sun java SDK, what I did is copy mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar to /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/lib/ext/ and everything works fine.
Where should I copy this file to when using kaffe? I have distribute this .jar file almost everywhere > locate connector
/usr/share/kaffe/mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar
/usr/bin/mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar
/usr/lib/kaffe/mysql-connector-java-2.0.14-bin.jar
But sadly, I still cannot get it right :)
Please advice.
Best Regards,
Calvin

I can't say, I haven't had a need to use databases yet ;) It would be nice if you could try it out, see what works and report back to the mailing list. There is some sql code from Classpath that I could merge in if it would improve things, but I'd need someone who uses databases to test it first ;) cheers, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
