Yankee Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 First for those who don't know there is a weatherbug for Linux. The main page and download tell you they may develop one. If you go to the link "Labs" at the bottom of the page you get to: http://weather.weatherbug.com/labs/linux.html They do have a version available that says: System Requirements Debian package: A Debian Linux distribution (Debian, Ubuntu, LinuxMint, etc) Red Hat RPM package: An RPM supported distribution (Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE, openSUSE, etc) JVM 1.4.2 Automatix: http://www.getautomatix.com/ Sun: http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp Internet connection I tried the Redhat package and it installs but hangs on run and goes away. I tried to uninstall the Classpath Java and install Sun Java but couldn't install the Sun. I got tired of messing with it and thought I'd try again after some sleep. And finally the point. Is anyone running this on Mandriva 2007.1? Should I use the Sun Java or Classpath (Just for general use aside from weatherbug)? Which is best? Weatherbug may be a lost cause because I can't figure out this requirement: Automatix: http://www.getautomatix.com Yes I know about Kweather and am running it. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{BBI}Nexus{BBI} Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Sorry Yankee, I don't know why it's not running under 2007.1. For those interested in trying this app, I have downloaded and successfully installed the Redhat rpm with no problems under Mandriva 2008.

scarecrow Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 (edited) Isn't Sun java 1.6.0 in 2007.1 official "non-free" repo? :unsure: (Me checks, and finds out this is the case indeed, so I fail to see what's the problem)... Just install java from "non-free", and then the Redhat RPM. It's a java app, so not likely to depend on many things.
