heee, are you sure about that??? I just add the folders from the 
#4 powerpack 7.2 to the sofware sources and search for viavoice, it finds and 
installs it fine. the foldes I add are "/Blackdown" and "/Viavoice" I have 
found it does not work to copy those folders to the hard drive.

No I did not try the blackdown java.  My experience with blackdown java
from that time period was not good -- probably I had too many crashes
from the boxed IBM version, which required it (the Mandrake 7.2 version
required IBM's own java, which was far superior).

Thanks and best wishes,
Damon

You've got the question right, he is trying to install the ViaVoice that came 
with 8.2 on 9.1, but the dependency problems you refer to should not occur 
because it is a commercial app and should have all necessary libraries 
statically compiled in, kind of like a Windows program.

If you could try it with 9.1 it would be much appreciated :-)  As I
mentioned, the JRE's I have tried (both Sun and IBM,  1.3.1 and 1.4) all
crash upon speakpad startup.  Actually Sun 1.3.1 with ALSA started up
ok, but then there was no sound input (I've got a soundblaster live). 
In the past I've had to use OSS with ViaVoice.  Viavoice is kind of
annoying in that it accepts only mono microphone input.

Thanks,
Damon

I guess I'm not understanding your question.  I thought you were talking about 
something you had running under 8.2 and wanted to run the same rpm under 9.1.

Yeah, but the commercial apps should have everything they need statically 
compiled in.  I got ViaVoice going on 9.0 with the IBM JRE included, I have 
not tried on 9.1, but might give it a go in the next week or so.

Sorry I actually meant 7.2, not 8.2.  The C coded engine seems fine, as

8.2 and 9.x run different kernel and different libraries.  I would not have

2003-04-02 Thread Damon Lynch
Hi everyone,

If anyone can get the RPMs from the 8.2 powerpack going under 9.1, I'd
be really glad to hear from you.  I've tried 4 different java versions,
and the closest I got to having it work was Sun's 1.3.1 and ALSA, but
there was no mic volume going into the speakpad (even though it worked
with 9.0, and it works with the audio setup wizard).  Anything (Sun /
IBM 1.3.1 / 1.4) with OSS is simply dieing on startup e.g. with Sun 1.4
jre:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x401366FC
Function=(null)+0x401366FC
Library=/lib/i686/libc.so.6

Any suggestions?  (BTW I'm currently running 9.1 RC2, until I get hold
of 9.1 final).
