[05:34] <perspectival> does anyone have java working on breezy badger ppc?
[05:37] <tashiro> perspectival: Yes, I do.
[05:37] <perspectival> no matter what i've tried, i can't get java to work
[05:38] <perspectival> i always get the following:

[05:38] <perspectival> silas@silaspb:/usr/java/IBMJava2-ppc-142/jre/bin$
[05:38] <perspectival> would you have any idea what might be causing that?
[05:38] <perspectival> i'm trying to run jedit
[05:38] <perspectival> or, failing that, eclipse ;-)
[05:39] <tashiro> /usr/java/IBMJava2-ppc-142 looks weird. Do you used java-package?
[05:39] <perspectival> i couldn't find java-package, so i used alien -d
[05:39] <perspectival> to fashion a .deb
[05:40] <perspectival> then installed it with dpkg -i
[05:40] <tashiro> Don't use alien
[05:40] <perspectival> what repository is java-package in/from?
[05:40] <tashiro> have you added universe and multiverse to your sources.list?
[05:42] <perspectival> i'm pretty sure i do...
[05:42] <perspectival> according to sources.list, i have:
[05:42] <perspectival> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
[05:42] <perspectival> deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted
[05:42] <perspectival> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
[05:42] <perspectival> deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted
[05:42] <perspectival>  deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
[05:42] <perspectival>  deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
[05:42] <perspectival> universe
[05:43] <perspectival> i don't see multiverse though
[05:45] <tashiro> It is in multiverse
[05:45] <tashiro> And use the tar.gz for java-package
[05:45] <perspectival> i thought i had enabled that
[05:45] <perspectival> i'm checking on it now
[05:45] <perspectival> and then i need to run:
[05:45] <perspectival>         make-jpkg IBMJava2-SDK-142.ppc.tgz         sudo dpkg -i ibm-j2sdk1.4_1.4.2_powerpc.deb
[05:46] <perspectival> does that look right?
[05:46] <perspectival> make-jpkg on the tar.gz i d/l from IBM, then install it with dpkg -i
[05:46] <perspectival> thx for the help, tashiro
[05:46] <perspectival> ;-)
[05:47] <tashiro> BTW, IBM offers now a 1.5 jdk
[05:49] <perspectival> yeah, i tried to install that one too, but with alien
[05:49] <perspectival> maybe i'll try it with dpkg
[05:49] <perspectival> do you have it working?
[05:50] <perspectival> ...try it with java-package, i mean
[05:50] <tashiro> yes, works almost fine. But I got problems if I try to run eclipse with it

[05:51] <perspectival> tried anything else with it?
[05:51] <perspectival> azureus?
[05:51] <perspectival> i wish gcj ran all of these things ;-)
[05:57] <tashiro> perspectival: I use it otherwise only for my own projects. No problems so far.
