Java JRE 1.6.0 Jar won't execute

English Applications
#1

I am having a problem with a Java application that I wrote on another distro. The app works on both Ubuntu 8.04 and Fedora 9 using Sun’s Java, but when I try to execute it on openSuSE 10.3, I get the following:

/usr/lib/<unknown>: No such file or directory

I started with a clean install of openSuSE 10.3, then installed java-1_6_0-sun. Running from the command line in xterm as
java -jar myjar.jar gives the error above.

I also have a script tied to a Main Menu item. When I execute that way, Bug Buddy produces the following:

I developed the app using Netbeans on another distro, so I downloaded and tried to install Netbeans on openSuSE, but I ended up with Bug Buddy reporting the same error when I tried to install.

What is missing? Where do I get it?

zypper in java-1_6_0-sun-devel

And re-try your application.

#3

zypper’ed java-1_6_0-sun-devel and tried again.

Same result.

#4

Any chance this application is available somewhere to test?

#5

Have a look here:

Thanks Dave. The link you provided enabled me to get Netbeans running, and my application goes further before dying with the same error.

Given the problems encountered, and the problems with other distros (different problems on each), I am rethinking whether Java was a good idea.

Thanks again for the help.

In my experience with Java, it truly has been ‘write once, run anywhere’
as advertised, so I’m surprised that you’re having problems.

I’d be happy to try to fix the problem, if you want to send me
the code. * If so, send me a private msg with details, including
what version of NetBeans, etc.

Cheers…
