Frostwire and java installation went wrong

[Arne]

Hello Guys,

I want to install Frostwire-4.10.9-0.i586.rpm which I downloaded from SourceForge. Before I install Frostwire I installed java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk.i586 : JPackage runtime scripts for GCJ (to install) with 'urpmi' which gave me 3 options and I choose the second option.

All together 14 packages and 66 MB. I get this messages:

 

The following packages have bad signatures:

Do you want to continue installation ? (y/N) y

 

During the urpmi final installation I get this error messages:

What caused this errors?????

Did I choose the wrong java???? I think the run-time version was enough.

I run linux 2.6.12-12mdk

I have tried to use 'urpme java' but the command is not able to clean my PC. Some Jave items and dependencies is still there. How do i clean it all????

 

The Java options I was presented was:

1- java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.05-2jpp.noarch : JPackage Java compatibility package for Sun's JDK (to install)

2- java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk.i586 : JPackage runtime scripts for GCJ (to install)

3- java-1.4.2-kaffe-1.4.2.00-2mdk.i586 : A free virtual machine for running Java code (to install)

What is your choice? (1-3) 2

 

Please help me

try to update your urpmi repos...

.

#urpmi.update -a -v

.

then try to clean the urpmi cache

.

#urpmi --clean

.

then try again

[Arne]

Thank's for your reply aioshin,

 

After update repos.. I run:

[root@TOT Desktop]# urpmi --clean

[root@TOT Desktop]# urpmi java

The package(s) are already installed

The following package names were assumed: java-1.4.2-kaffe

[root@TOT Desktop]# urpme java-1.4.2-kaffe

unknown package: java-1.4.2-kaffe

 

Java-1.4.2-kaffe comes there from one of my previous attempt's because a believed this should be enough to run Frostwire, but no luck.

 

How can I de-install this package?????

[scarecrow]

Frostwire needs newer java than that to run. Simply take the 1.5.0 RPM from mandrivaclub.nl, which will create all needed symlinks and path defs for Mandy 2006.

Also notice that in some systems Frostwire takes more than 30 seconds to run, and there are a few visual glitches.

[aioshin]

try

#rpm -e java-1.4.2-kaffe

or to get that particular package name

#rpm -qa | grep java

[Arne]

Thank's for reply both of you,

aioshin

I run:

[root@TOT arne]# rpm -e eclipse-ecj-3.1.0-8mdk.i586 java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk.i586

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14192: line 1: /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db: No such file or directory

error: %postun(eclipse-ecj-3.1.0-8mdk.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.14192: line 13: /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers: No such file or directory

error: %postun(java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

I would like to understand why this script fails??????

 

Then I run:

[root@TOT arne]# rpm -e --noscripts java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk eclipse-ecj-3.1.0-8mdk.i586

and I think this confirm it's un-installed:

[root@TOT arne]# whereis eclipse-ecj-3.1.0-8mdk.i586

eclipse-ecj-3.1.0-8mdk:

[root@TOT arne]# whereis java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk.i586

java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40.16mdk:

Do you agree?????

 

scarecrow,

I have downloaded

j2re-1.5.0.5-1.2006mcnl.i586.rpm #from october 2005 and

j2re-1.5.0.6-1.2006mcnl.i586.rpm #from december 2005

 

Which one should I use????

Should it be installed with 'rpm -i' or 'urpmi'????

Hi Arne,

 

The best way to check if something is installed or not, would be this command:

 

rpm -qa | grep java

 

will filter results of those containing java or replace with j2re in your example above. Replace "java" with eclipse, or anything else you want to search for to find out if the package is installed or not.

 

I usually download java directly from http://www.java.com

 

They also provide a rpm to install, which works a treat. Normally it's in an rpm.bin file, which you then extract, and install the rpm file afterwards. If you're unsure of instructions, here are ones I wrote a while ago when doing it under Mandrake 10.1, but the procedure is still the same:

Hope it helps a bit if you're still experiencing some problems.

[scarecrow]

I'd rather install it like:

 

urpmi.addmedia mcnl http://www.mandrivaclub.nl/sources/official/2006/i586/ with hdlist.cz

urpmi j2re

Before doing "urpmi j2re" put the newer downloaded RPM at urpmi's cache directory, unless you don't mind downloading the same thing for a third time...

 

If you don't like using urpmi, then look for another distro- all that is good about Mandriva is urpmi and nothing else...

Thank's for reply Ian and scarecow.

I added the club nedia, A god idee for the future.

 

Ok, I added media and downloaded 'j2re' and installed it. No error messages.

Then I installed FrostWire latest which I had downloaded a few days ago. No error messages.

 

When I use the kde run command I am told:

FrostWire

Could not run the specified command.

When I run it from terminal I am told:

[root@TOT Desktop]# FrostWire

bash: FrostWire: command not found

 

What am I missing???????

[ianw1974]

You could try:

 

whereis frostwire

 

or if that doesn't yield any results:

 

su
updatedb
slocate frostwire

 

and that should pull back lots more results. Providing the executable is called frostwire for the application you've installed.

[scarecrow]

Why are you trying to run FrostWire as root? It ain't a good idea at all...

Also, your bash shell is case sensitive, so in any case you should type

frostwire

all lower case (at least my frostwire running script has eveything lowercase, and I didn't make it myself...).

[Arne]

Ok Guys,

When I in a terminal (not as root) I get this:

[arne@TOT ~]$ frostwire

: command not found:

: No such file or directory

: command not found:

: command not found3:

'unFrost.sh: line 24: syntax error near unexpected token `

'unFrost.sh: line 24: `look_for_java()

 

and

[arne@TOT ~]$ whereis frostwire

frostwire: /usr/bin/frostwire /usr/lib/frostwire

 

I go to Java website where I can test if Java is installed correctly.

The message is: Java is not installed correctly.

 

I believed this club version was pre-compiled for 2006.0. So why is it not working. Is it like this "Skype" work right out of the box and rt2500 wireless chip work right out the box shit from mandriva or am I taking my mouth to full.

 

I think the best ting for me is to install the rpm from Java website but I will wait for your reply, please.

[scarecrow]

Yes, its for 2006, and as such complied with gcc4- shouldn't work with previous versions. But the above site has RPM's for 10.2, 10.1... albeit slightly outdated. Just copy paste the link to your browser and have a look.
