Problems installing servoy on ubuntu edgy

Classic Servoy
1

Hello all,

Just downloaded servoy trial and run into problems trying to install the jar file. I think it’s some kind of dependancy problem.
I am not a real linux-guru, so can anyone please tell me how to resolve this?
Java is up to date on this machine and is working properly.

TIA,
Harry

What java are you running (java -version)?
I think you needs sun java.

Judging by this line:

Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: libgtkpeer: libgtkpeer.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I’d say you don’t have either kaffe, kaffe-pthreads or libgtk2 installed. I’m running Kubuntu 6.06, and I have the file here:
/usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads/jre/lib/i386/libgtkpeer.so

Please try this:

sudo apt-get install kaffe kaffe-pthreads libgtk2.0-0

@Rob,

I am running the latest sun java, just tested it on their site.

@Sandor:
Tried your apt-get command and that succeeded.
Now when i try to install it give another bunch of messages (InvocationTargetException) and stops there.
The install command does not complete, it just waits for something
I think it is trying to show a license agreement?

On my Ubuntu install it runs perfect. What output do you get if you type

java -version

Hi Jan,

This is what i get:

java full version “kaffe-1.4.2”

kaffe VM “1.1.7”

Is this okay?

That’s not a proper Java no. Go to java.sun.com and install a real Sun Java. Use that Java to run Servoy and everything will be brilliant. Kaffe is just like the name already suggests a very bad tasting Java!

From the SUN java site :

JAVA SOFTWARE for Your Computer

We detected your Java environment as follows;
Description Your Environment
Java Runtime Vendor:

Sun Microsystems Inc.
Java Runtime Version

1.5.0_11

CONGRATULATIONS, you have the Latest version of Java!

What do i have to do to get the “proper” java?

TIA
Harry

This most probably means that you have both sun’s java and Kaffe installed. It looks like you have a path to Kaffe that is causing Kaffe to launch instead of Sun’s jre. Correct your path settings and you will be fine.

Hello Jan,.

Thanks for your help.

I didn’t have kaffe installed until i run the command Sandor gave me.
Before kaffe i got other errors, that was the start of this thread.
And i’m not a real linux guru,
How can i change the path?
re-install sun-java?

TIA
Harry

My advice is always to run the OS you are comfortable with. I don’t think it is a good idea to use Ubuntu if it’s not your cup of coffee. Setting path’s is different in each config/version of Linux and also depends on what shell you run, how you login, which user you are etc.

Globally: first you would locate where your java is installed and if your shell is bash you would then edit .bash_profile in your home dir and add the path to the java executable to your PATH environment setting.

Alternatively you can consider to run it straight from the command line:

cd /to/your/servoydir

then:

/path/to/java -jar servoy_developer.jar

Yesssss!!!

That did it.It installed succesfully.
I will give it a try.

Thank you

btw:
I really like ubuntu till now. Just still learning :)
