Re: [SLE] Java installation problems

** Reply to message from Bret Waldow on Thu, 01 Aug 2002 20:12:26 GMT Brent, that appears to have done the trick! :o) At least as far as my e-mail... :o) I found the place you described (actually called create_link in SuSE 8.0). It was set to "yes" but I reentered it (also did a few other "tweaks" while I was there such as setting my default time zone), saved, and tried to restart my e-mail program. And it launched! Thanks so much. Now I have to reinstall my Star Office and hope that they and Java like each other. :o) Thanks again. Gil

I'm not running SuSE 8.0, so there may be something I don't know about.

In 7.3, there is a rc.config option like "make java link". This tells YAST to make links to your java vm. Is this setting wrong on your current configuration?

Hi, everyone.

...

I'm having a terrible day. :o( I cannot get my box to recognize that Java is installed. Here's what's happened.

...

I installed two files from the SuSE 8.0 disks:

...

IBM Runtime (Java2-JRE v1.3,0) IBM Developers Kit (Java-SDK)

...

In my usr/lib directory I see the following:

...

1) IBMJava2-1.3.0 2) IBMJava2 (this is a pointer, a link back to IBMJava2-1.3.0) 3) java (this is also a pointer linking back to the same file)

...

When I try to install Polarbar (an e-mail program) it apparently can't find the Java.

...

In fact, nothing sees the Java. I type "java" and nothing happens. I type "jre" and nothing happens.

...

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Java several times without success.

...

What am I missing to get Java installed and running?

...

Thanks. Gil
