[opensuse] More about installation of the Jikes compiler

2007-09-02 Thread Stan Goodman 
Sorry I am unable to thread this message with those that have gone before. 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 
,
 
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 , 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:

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

2007-09-02 Thread Bogdan Cristea 
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.

Rebooted? but why? To ensure that the installation took, it is necessary only
to run the program. if it runs, the installation was successful.

Right - to get the help text, I'd open a terminal and type "jikes"

Ouch - looks like jikes has done something. I've never used jikes, but that
does not sound at all kosher. If your java is all installed from rpm packages,
you can check them to see what, if anything, has been damaged. I'm starting
from ignorance about jikes, and assuming a worst-case scanario here. So I'd
first remove jikes, then generate a list of the main java packages to check.
On my box, I get:

lucy: /home/jjs
(tty/dev/pts/3): bash: 1031 > rpm -qa | grep '^java'
java-1_5_0-sun-alsa-1.5.0_update12-3.1
java-1_4_2-gcj-compat-devel-1.4.2.0-66
java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_update12-3.1
java-1_4_2-cacao-devel-0.96-22
java-1_5_0-sun-jdbc-1.5.0_update12-3.1
java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_update12-3.1
javamail-1.4-16
java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.5.0_update12-3.1
java-1_4_2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-66
java-1_4_2-cacao-0.96-22

I'd then check each of these with rpm -V to see which files might be missing
or damaged. I'll put the above list into a file called "java-pkgs" and issue
the following command:

for i in `cat java-pkgs `do
echo $i
rpm -V $i
echo 'next?'
read junk
done

If any of these shows damage, I'd reinstall it... and no reboot.

Was jikes installed with yast or zypper, or was it downloaded and installed
with an rpm command? were there any warnings?

Just for giggles, I downloaded jikes and took a look.  Here is the list of
files in the jikes which I just installed with zypper:


lucy: /home/jjs
(tty/dev/pts/3): bash: 1045 > rpm -ql jikes
/usr/bin/jikes
/usr/include/jikesapi.h
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/AUTHORS
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/ChangeLog
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/README
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/TODO
/usr/share/doc/packages/jikes/license.htm
/usr/share/man/man1/jikes.1.gz


I see absolutely no possibility of conflict with any installed java files
here. After installing jikes, I still have no problem running any of my java
programs - editix, limerwire, azureus all work as before. I suspect there may
be something else going on with your system. Happy hunting and good luck!

It is the result of long habit from a pre-Linux existence. It certainly didn't 
create the subsequent problem.

Too late. The bloody thing is gone.

Just for laughs (no giggling), here is a list of checked packages that the 
Software Management tool turns up when searched for "java";

classpath
gcc41-gij
gcc41-gij_32bit
gcc-gij
java-1_4_2-gcj-compat
java-1_4_2-gcj-compat_32bit
jre (with a padlock; this is jre v1.6.0_02)
libgcj41
libgcj41-32bit

As you probably read in a previous note to Bogdan, I've localized the problem 
to Java v1.4.2, which I intend to uninstall, so that v1.6.0 will be the 
default jvm. Everything I have works fine with 1.6.0.

It was installed automatically from the website where it was found, using 
Zeninstaller. There were no warnings. The first thing the installation told 
me was "Success!".

OK, there was no possibility. Still, Java was working fine minutes before the 
installation, and was fouled up right afterward.
