I have DSL 1.5, frugal install with persistent /home and /opt. I am trying to get some java-based apps to work with the java.uci (from the MyDSL-repositories), but I am experiencing some ... challenges. I tried, for instance, Freemind, which is an excellent, java-based application. I downloaded the binary (zipped) package from the Freemind website, unzipped it with the p7zip.dsl and placed it in /opt (because I thought I'd make a .uci out of it if I could get it to work). Freemind has a startup script, which is really only a bash script I think, that basically helps finding the java directories I think. Now, the java.uci is placed in /opt which is not in PATH, so the Freemind script cannot find it. I have tried to hack the script to direct it to /opt/jre1_5_0 and I get the app up and running, but it seems as if everything isn't completely right. So my question for those of you who have tried similar things with the jre1_5_0.uci: is hacking the startup script of each application the only way to fix this, or is there another trick? (I guess creating symlinks in /usr/bin is out of the question for a frugal install?!) I have searched the forums for answers to this, but I haven't found much concerning this. Please direct me to a relevant post if I have overlooked something.
Hope someone has some ideas :-)
