From: Derick Centeno <dcent...@ydl.net> To: yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com Cc: robert.a.bl...@noaa.gov Subject: Re: [ydl-gen] Java on PS3 Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:45:24 -0500 Reply-To: Discussion List for Yellow Dog Linux User Topics <yellowdog-general@lists.fixstars.com> Sender: yellowdog-general-boun...@lists.fixstars.com X-Mailer: Claws Mail 2.9.1 (GTK+ 2.10.4; powerpc-redhat-linux-gnu) As usual Robert, the easy way to get what you want is the least obvious. First, take the time to learn how to modify the standard application called yum which YDL uses for updates, installations, etc. The detailed instructions are here: http://www.yellowdog-board.com/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3017 Take the time and make sure you understand what is there and then modify yum accordingly. Remember that when you come across a very long explanation with a window you can scroll down within it for more information within the YDL Board. Pay attention to the section on YDL 6.2 and implement those recommendations. After all that, I recommend that you include one more modification which I'll share with you. Include something called ps3bodega. Why? Because they already have the rpm and dependencies for IBM JRE which you are having trouble with. Here's a snapshot what yum refers to: [agu...@arakus etc]$ cd yum.repos.d [agu...@arakus yum.repos.d]$ ls dribble.repo ps3bodega.repo yellowdog-updates.repo fedora-extras.repo yellowdog-base.repo livna-stable.repo yellowdog-extras.repo [agu...@arakus yum.repos.d]$ Explanation: Within the yum.repos.d directory are several files one of which is ps3bodega.repo. The ps3bodega.repo file consists of the following: [PS3Bodega] name=PS3Bodega repo for Yellow Dog 6.2 baseurl=http://pleasantfiction.ipower.com/ps3linux/ps3bodega62/ppc/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 After all the above has been done then do: #yum install "ibm*jre*" then the jre and whatever programs/dependencies it needs to run are all found and installed by yum for you. Now regarding getting the java plugin to be seen and used by Firefox. The instructions posted by Fixstars is old and hasn't been corrected. Here's the shortcut after all the above has been completed find it (libjavaplugin_oji.so) in YDL 6.2. It should be here: /opt/ibm/java*/jre/plugin/ppc/ns7 It is recommended that you create soft or symbolic links. Read this: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java Regarding how to do this within Linux the instructions I found useful are here: http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/SDK_sysprog/_Using_Symbolic_Links.html ========= Refranes/Popular sayings: The Taino say:No hay mal que por bien no venga. There is no evil out of which good cannot blossom.
