Java not working.

[Red Knuckles]

I have installed Sun Java and java-plugin with Debian repos and apt-get.
I have Java plugin in IceWeasel. 'whereis java' results in:

~# whereis java
java: /etc/java /usr/share/java

In 'usr/share' I have these listed:

/usr/share# ls
java
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10
java-config
java-package

'update-alternatives --config java' results in:

~# update-alternatives --config java

There are 2 alternatives which provide `java'.

Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
2 /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number:

Then 'java -version' results in:

~# java -version
-su: java: command not found

When I try to start Azureus:

/usr/bin# ./azureus
./azureus: line 3: /usr/share/java-config/libswt-3.2-java: No such file or directory

What can I do to get Java to work?

Hi Red Knuckles,

I'm not real educated with java but I'll give it a shot:

Have you checked to see if libswt-3.2-java is actually in /usr/share/java-config? I'm wondering if Azurius is looking for it where it isn't. I'd look in /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun and see if it's there...

Here's what I find:

/usr/share/java-config# ls
libswt-gtk-3.2-java

/usr/lib/jvm# ls
java-1.5.0-sun java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10

/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10# ls

Obviously I'm not real educated with java either. Yet.

Which Debian version are you using ?

How did you install Java ?

How did you install Azureus ?

[Red Knuckles]

I'm using Debian Etch [I believe that's 4.0].

It was a java problem. Found the answer at these 2 posts:

http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=10870

I installed jave using rickh's How To @ LinusQuestions.org. I then installed Azureus using Synaptic.

~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_10"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_10-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_10-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

Azureus version:2.5.0.0

:o

I am confused, did you got it to work ?

What I can tell you is this.

The easiest and most reliable way to install Java is using java-package. I described the exact method on my blog :
http://wizah.blogspot.com/2005/12/de...suns-java.html

As for Azureus, I don't like using the Debian package, as I had some trouble with it in the past.

Download the .tar.bz2 binary package from Azureus official site.

As it is a binary package, you don't need to compile anything, simply uncompress it, /opt/ for example :

(as root)

 
cd /opt
tar jxf /path/to/Azureus_2.5.0.0_linux.tar.bz2

Then make a shortcut for it (as root) :

nano /usr/share/applications/Azureus.desktop

With this content :

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Azureus
Comment=Java BitTorrent Client
Exec=/opt/azureus/azureus
Icon=/opt/azureus/Azureus.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;

At least that's how I do it.

Sorry, not meaning to confuse. Yes, I got it to work. I installed Sun Java using this link:

Although your link looks like it may have been easier. Thanks.

Ok, no problem.

Have fun !
