Re: [opensuse] More about installation of the Jikes compiler



How do you have installed Jikes?
I recommend using yast or zypper by adding the url where the package is
located and then install it. Using zypper from CLI, the commands are (run as
root):
zypper sa http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse
zypper in jikes

For other java programs, you could try to update your installation using the
above method.

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=open
SUSE_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:

I have no idea how to proceed in this case, and would be grateful for any
advice or comment.
