Ok. I have installed jre DSL package. But when I try to install jEdit (IMO the best editor out there) this happens:| Quote |
| bash-2.05b# dpkg -i /tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb (Reading database ... dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `jedit' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed. 11323 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace jedit 4:04.03.06.00 (using /tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb) ... Unpacking replacement jedit ... dpkg: error processing /tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb (--install): unable to create `./usr/share/applications/jedit.desktop': No such file or directory dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute new post-removal script: No such file or directory dpkg: error while cleaning up: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2 Errors were encountered while processing: /tmp/jedit_4.3pre6_all.deb dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe) |
Any ideas what to do?
(I did that as root.)

HiI've downloaded the jEdit Java Installer (jar file) and it works great.
| Code Sample |
| java -jar jedit4.3pre7install.jar |
Ofcourse you have to install and configure Java, prior to doing this.
