Swarm and Mandrake 9.0

[Raniero Virgilio]

Finally, I can use swarm and java in Linux!

I installed Mandrake 9.0 and the rpms from P.Johnson's page for RH 7.3.

Then I installed the jdk from Sun, version 1.4.1_01 (the bin, not the rpm) in /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_01

 

Then the following links:

 

/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0 -> j2sdk1.4.1_01

/usr/lib/libtcl.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so

/usr/lib/libtk.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so

/usr/lib/libpng.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.4

 

Everything works fine, in obj-c and in java, much much faster than on Windows. And I have no problems with graphics (wich I used to have before, using RH 7.3 and jdk 1.4.0 and 1.4.1).

 

Hope this could be usefull for someone else.
