Hey, you just seem to have my exactly identical problem!! Here is my previous post, where i complained about being unable to run start-freenet on a slackware 8.0 with jdk1.2.2:
************************************* Hi, when I run ./start-freenet.sh, I receive the following messages: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException at freenet.node.Main.seedRoutingTable(Main.java, Compiled Code) at freenet.node.Main.main(Main.java, Compiled Code). I'm trying to activate freenet on a Slackware 8.0 Linux, and this is the java freenet.node.Main --system output: -- listing properties -- java.specification.name=Java Platform API Specification java.version=1.2.2 java.awt.graphicsenv=sun.awt.X11GraphicsEnvironment user.timezone=Europe/Paris java.specification.version=1.2 java.vm.vendor=Blackdown Java-Linux Team user.home=/root java.vm.specification.version=1.0 os.arch=i386 java.awt.fonts= java.vendor.url=http://www.blackdown.org user.region=US file.encoding.pkg=sun.io java.home=/usr/src/jdk1.2.2/jre java.class.path=/usr/src/freenet-20020425/lib/freenet... line.separator= java.ext.dirs=/usr/src/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/ext java.io.tmpdir=/tmp os.name=Linux java.vendor=Blackdown Java-Linux Team java.awt.printerjob=sun.awt.motif.PSPrinterJob java.library.path=/usr/src/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/native... java.vm.specification.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. sun.io.unicode.encoding=UnicodeLittle file.encoding=ISO-8859-1 java.specification.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. user.language=en user.name=root java.vendor.url.bug=http://www.blackdown.org/cgi-bin/jdk java.vm.name=Classic VM java.class.version=46.0 java.vm.specification.name=Java Virtual Machine Specification sun.boot.library.path=/usr/src/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386 os.version=2.4.5 java.vm.version=1.2.2 java.vm.info=build Linux_JDK_1.2.2_RC4, native thr... java.compiler=sunwjit path.separator=: file.separator=/ user.dir=/usr/src/freenet-20020425 sun.boot.class.path=/usr/src/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/rt.jar:/usr... I'm stuck. Maybe my JDK version is too old... I'll appreciate a lot any help you can give to me! *************************************** As you can notice, my Java version is equal to yours! And the operating system too!! I still didn't upgrade to a newer jdk due to my connection slowness while downloading, but I really think the cause is jdk or jre version related. I would suggest to you to upgrade your jre to the latest version available and try it again (if your connection is better than mine i mean)... And please don't forget to tell me what happens :) Thanks in advance.
