Test your Java Here.

I tried to install this in Dingo 394 and got a list of missing libraries a mile long and no indication in Seamonkey that it knows about it. However, there are really only six missing dependencies listed. They are:

libmawt.so
libjvm.so
libXp.so.6
libXi.so.6
libodbcinst.so
libodbc.so

But libjvm.so is installed by your pet in /usr/java/lib/i386/client and server.

And libmawt.so is installed in /usr/java/lib/i386/xawt, motif21, and headless.

The remaining four are not present on my computer and not listed in the repository.

Also, the pet installer reports that it has added 'java' entries for every heading in the menu, which, of course it has not; there are no menu entries because there are no new files in the /applications/ folder.

I tried installing it in Puppy 3.01. In this case the libXi and libXp files are present so are not reported as missing. The libodbc and libodbcinst are NOT present but are NOT reported as missing. There is still a string of missing dependencies, all libjvm and libmawt.

Tried again with Puppy 4.0beta. Same result. Has anyone gotten this Pet to install correctly?

BS

Spyware?

na, tis me signature.

I don't like that my IP is publically shown.
I hope you can take some action to avoid this in the future.

alright, i took off the ip and ISP. now just shows OS and browser.

Has anybody made a pet of a working java work Puppy 4.00?

As per the ravensrest post above, this pet doesn't work in dingo.

Thanks,

cartz.

UPDATE:

Found the excellent post "HOWTO install Java the hard way" and will take that option instead, see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=21505

i am just as confused as ravensrest.

Java updated to 1.6u6
Added "Java Control Panel" to system menu.

The java SDK is now Open Source
RedHat is the first distro with a working environment

We do have ways of using their package management system - will we be the second?

Tiny Puppy
Big Java

That's good !Thank you for share it !

DOH!

I just installed the old java 1.5 dotpup from dotpup.de. Then I found this thread. It was a good learning experience anyway to see how the dotpup went. Installed Ok. Using Puppy 4.0

Is it still debatable whether the java .pet files here work with Puppy4? Would it be recommended to try it?

If so, should my java 1.5 be uninstalled first?

Cartz, did the "hard way" work? Looks nasty.

ken_cat,

just use the package managet to uninstall the java .pup, then install the java .pet. Java shouldn't care which pupversion you're using.

Java updated to 1.6u7

I needed Java Runtime Environment to install and try the package I wanted on my notebook (details below)
Intel Mobile Celeron 550MHz CPU
640K System RAM
63M Extended RAM
128 Cache SRAM
Toshiba MK6015MAP hard disk
running Puppy 4.0 (Full install)

The package I wanted was:
http://www.notamplot.com/
anyway... I never got that far
Installed Java 1.6u7 and got the list of dozens of missing things - decided that it was beyond my capabilities for the moment and un-installed it.

And then fun and games started
Upon re-booting X wouldn't work and took some time to get sorted (it's OK now), but my Seamonkey doesn't work anymore - ie despite network connection being OK, it just give me "Page Load Error"

Anyway... eventually after couple or shutdowns and re-boots my Seamonkey is fine and hopefully I am back where I started

However, the questions remain:
Is Java 1.6u7 OK for Puppy 4.0?
What about all the missing bit?

thanks Chris

Java works alright in puppy 4 when testing via the livecd and pup_save file.

Wolf Pup wrote:Java works alright in puppy 4 when testing via the livecd and pup_save file.

so hopefully it should also work with my full install ...

why though, all this missing stuff when I install it?
and where do I find it? please

I know that I have stumbled from my normal (beginners) section into "advanced topics" and am totally out of my depth

thanks Chris

Puppy's Dependency Check looks in the wrong places and reports missings libs. Only that Java.pet is needed to get java working, nothing else. If java still does not work, it could be a incomplete download.
