Hello. I have problem accessing online banking from iBook G4/opensuse. It uses applet and it works fine on my friends iBook G3 running Gentoo Linux and IBM jre. I noticed opensuse installed icedtea instead, so I am thinking if I can install IBM jre it would solve the problem.
However I couldn't find sun jre in package repository, in all of
Sun never created a Linux PPC jre/jdk, so you couldn't find it. There was a port from Blackdown, but the latest version was 1.3.something. I wouln't use it anymore.
powerpc.opensuse.org oss/non-oss repositories and in packman. A google search of how to use ibm-jre in opensuse finds my own post asking similar question 3 year ago which failed by that time: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-07/msg01965.html
Am I advised to go to IBM website download and install jre in RPM version? Or should I add other package repositories or where to find a pre-packaged ibm jre? What do you try in this case?
You have to download from IBM website. The licence was very restricted, when I've checked it last, so it doesn't allow to redistribute it. Therefore there will be no package on the packman site. In the past, IBM checked the cpu and failed on cpu's IBM didn't use on there own computers, so all G4 didn't work. I don't know if this has changed the last years. -- Machs gut | http://www.iivs.de/schwinde/buerger/tremmel/ | http://packman.links2linux.de/ Manfred | http://www.knightsoft-net.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+help@opensuse.org
