I'll venture out on a limb and say if you use Ubuntu 6.10, the instructions on my page, plus the debs from Stanford give a 99.99% chance of success. The typical sources of failure would be weird hardware, keyboard-to-chair interface issues, or something rare we haven't found that we'd like to fix. So I'd go Ubuntu.
That said, I think your problem is solved if "tos-install-jni" works after the fact. You could of course try installing Sun's Java in RPM form (available at java.sun.com) and retrying. Chad On 3/28/07, Pedro Almeida <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, Chad! Thanks for explanation! I don't mind returning into Ubuntu if is assured it works for a pure Tiny OS 2.0 install! I'm now using Fedora and following the install guide from that link you showed at tinyos.net site, but it's precisely where i got stuck in step 4, which is why i'm asking for help, as given the original packages are rpm's, Fedora should be the best place to install everything. I have no idea why it isnt working, i explained the problems in the first post, but if it's not possible to use tiny os on Fedora, i'll just try Ubuntu again...
