Hello everybody,

I want to install DSL in vmware and I want to install Java 5 in it. Is it possible to do that? If it is, can I use the java version from Sun? then which java file should I download, rpm.bin or bin?

Thank you.

hello.. I downloaded the java sdk v1.4.2
I needed to get the self extracting .bin file as RPMs don't appear to be supported (or at least if there is an extensions, my system doesn't have one installed).

So anyway, it all extracted okay... however I am unable to execute ANY of the binaries.  Can anyone tell me what might be the problem?  The error is typically the same on every executable, so here is an example when I run javac -->

Error occured during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

I have tried running executables in the runtime environment directory and same problem.  I'm sure it is something simple..  any ideas?

Could it be a case of incompatibility with DSL?  Although I can't see how it would matter.

any help/thought appreciated.

email: lbrowning@ii.net

regards,
Larry.

RPMs are supported I think with apt-get. What it does is allow you to d-load rpms and use them with DSL...

as for the vmware thing i would recommend Embeded DSL with QEmu cause vmware sux

Correction it is not apt-get. It's dpkg
You may need to get the .dsl pkg dpkg if you don't already have it and mydsl-load it...
You probably should have gnu-utils installed first

sudo dpkg -i BitDefende.*.deb

This should allow you to install debian pkgs...
NOTE: I found this in the applications part of the msg board so searching really does help.

RPMs are not DEBs.  RPMs are installed through the rpm package manager, which is a part of RedHat, Suse, Mandriva.  There is no RPM support in DSL, even with Apt enabled.  Debian systems use DEB, which is installed through apt-get, dpkg, myDSL, or Synaptic (all of them call dpkg to do the actual install).
