[expert] Opera and Java: which RPMs?
I would like touse Opera as web browser. I am however having trouble
getting the it to work smoothly with java.
Whenever I try to start opera I get the following message:
pan:~ opera -debugjava
java: There seems to be a preloaded version of Xt.
Typical causes for this are the LD_PRELOAD environment
variable or that Opera indirectly depends on libXt.so
Java will probably crash Opera.
How to modify setup (example)
SUN Java installed at: /opt/java/jre1.3.1_04
export OPERA_JAVADIR=/opt/java/jre1.3.1_04/lib/i386/
export LD_PRELOAD=${OPERA_JAVADIR}/libawt.so
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${OPERA_JAVADIR}:${OPERA_JAVADIR}/client/
IBM Java installed at: /opt/java/IBMJava2-131
export OPERA_JAVADIR=/opt/java/IBMJava2-131/bin
export LD_PRELOAD=${OPERA_JAVADIR}/libawt.so
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${OPERA_JAVADIR}:${OPERA_JAVADIR}/client/
java: Disabling java due to potential dangers. If you know
what you are doing, you can set the environment variable
OPERA_FORCE_JAVA_ENABLED to '1' to override this.
I have tried the following:
- follow the descriptions above. It still resulted in the error
message.
- I have tried kaffe (1.0.7-1mdk) and j2re (1.4.0_01-1mdk) as my java
runtime environment.
- I have tried opera downloaded from opera's home page
(6.10-20021029.4-shared-qt) as well as the version from MandrakeClub
(6.03-0.static.1mdk). The latter is staticly linked and does not issue
the error above, instead the opera stalls when trying to run java.
Does anybody have a opera and Java working together. If so, what are
the correct combination of RPMs?
Thanks in advance
Peter

[expert] opera 6.03 on mdk8.2 ...
hi, have tried to get run opera 6.03 but now MUST say, this is a really bad and weird thing. First was need qt2-2.3-things, trying to get qt2 I only got the src-package, then a lot of old progs like Mesa-common, Mesa-common-devel, some libs like libmngl libpng and much more was needed, and every package has dependency-problems with already installed packages or was needing some other packages with anotherone needed packages or dependends on additionel packages. also have tried out the static-version of opera - got NO connection. the only thing I can see is waiting for host. thats all. am wondering, that some 8.2-users have running opera6.03 on their 8.2-boxes. maybe and perhaps can anyone tell me, where I could get the needed qt2-2.3-rpm -src.rpm. because the rebuild results in internal error:memoryaccesserror has anyone an idea for all that ? thans and bye hans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

A quick question, has anyone got Opera 6.0b1 to work on Mandrake 8.2? yeah but not right out of the box. there is a libpng version issue. M8.2 uses libpng3, and Opera depends on libpng2. so ( i think there is an RPM for it in Mandrake 8.2 CD1 ) you have to install libpng2 before Opera. oh, and also there were some people that claimed that symlinking libpng.so.3 to libpng.so.2 ( or something like that, don't quite remember ) solved it, too. but IMHO you are better off installing libpng2. oh, btw, don't install libpng2-devel. it may kill a lot of stuff.

There's some controversy going on around our office about email clients. Basically, we need a new email client that will handle imap/ssl or apop. We have both Mandrake Linux and windoze boxes. We were discussing Eudora, but there's apparently no version of Eudora for Linux. Netscape handles imap/ssl, but I don't have the expertise to set up the system (I need to learn one hell of a lot more). Any ideas? Recommendations? Pointers? I know from zip about Opera.

Re: [expert] Opera for Linux beta out!
I grabbed it also. (been waiting for what seems like eons. ;) The browser is fairly functional, but it's still lacking alot yet. Right now, I actually prefer Mozilla M12. As an example, when displaying a .JPG file under Opera, it sometimes will not show up unless I go to a different workspace under X and then switch back. (it then appears) Also, try right clicking on a image..., it goes to the previous page. ;) All in all, it's good to see! I'll also be sending in some cash to support their effort.
