Sorry I am unable to thread this message with those that have gone before. I have to use a different mail client, which is a consequence of the progress of "Jikes".
To review: I had been unable to install Jikes, and Bogdan was kind enough to direct me to <http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=Jikes&distro=openSUSE_102>, which contains a pointer to a site at which the jikes package is available. I found and selected the x86_64 flavor of the program, to match my hardware. Installing the package seemed successful (there was a notice announcing this). I rebooted, to assure myself that the installation actually "took". Writing "jikes" in the Search field of the lizard menu brought up a line reading <Run 'usr/bin/jikes'>, and I clicked on it -- which produced nothing visible. (Running jikes with no arguments is supposed to bring up a help screen). Much worse, the three Java programs on which I rely no longer start; clicking on their desktop icons does nothing whatever. Apparently jikes, which is itself a Java program has done somehow screwed up the Java installation. I tried to start one of the java programs manually, by which is easy to do, and which I have done before. The result is as follows: ***** [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin/jftp> java -jar lib/jftp.jar Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit: gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(libgcj.so.7) at java.awt.Font.tk(libgcj.so.7) at java.awt.Font.getPeerFromToolkit(libgcj.so.7) at java.awt.Font.<init>(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.plaf.FontUIResource.<init>(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.plaf.metal.DefaultMetalTheme.<clinit>(libgcj.so.7) at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.createDefaultTheme(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel.<init>(libgcj.so.7) at javax.swing.UIManager.<clinit>(libgcj.so.7) at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.7) at com.myjavaworld.jftp.JFTPPreferences.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.myjavaworld.jftp.am.n(Unknown Source) at com.myjavaworld.jftp.am.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.7) at com.myjavaworld.jftp.JFTPApplication.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.myjavaworld.jftp.JFTPApplication.main(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit at java.lang.Class.forName(libgcj.so.7) at java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(libgcj.so.7) ...16 more ***** I have no idea how to proceed in this case, and would be grateful for any advice or comment. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
