Has anyone had any luck getting moneydance to work with potato? I have the following packaged installed: jdk1.1, jdk1.1-dev, jdk1.1-native & jdk1.1-native-dev. Where the 'native' packages provide the native linux threads extensions to the standard jdk. The version of Java installed as part of potato is 1.1.8.
I have followed the instructions for installation at: http://seanreilly.com/java/moneydance/download/2.0/Unix/Others/ Having set the location of the Java VM to /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/jre and the location of moneydance to /usr/local/moneydance. I tried executing the script to no avail. I tried commenting the lines in the moneydance shell script indicated by possessing a JIT compiler (I have TYA installed). I have read the troubleshooting page at the moneydance web site and tried to add the line 'export THREADS_FLAG=native' to the moneydance script as indicated for the problem with SuSE needing to run java in native threads mode (I thought Debian might require it too). No luck. The debian mailing list archives have mentioned problems with an installer for moneydance and provide a workaround, however moneydance 2.0.4 does not come with an installer script. Nothing has worked. I always get the following output after executing the shell script: bash-2.03$ ./moneydance /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/jre -cp /usr/local/moneydance/swingall.jar:/usr/local/moneydance/license.jar:/usr/local/moneydance/moneydance.jar: Moneydance Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread Could not create Java VM bash-2.03$ Does anyone know how I can get Java to initialize it's threads? Do I need to change a search path that is somehow included in the Java archive (.jar) files or some other setting? Please CC me as I'm not currently subscribed to the list.
