I recently installed jdk onto my potato box - one of my classes this semester is programming in Java. The problem I am having is that every time I try to run javac to do the byte-compile I get the message: Cannot open /proc/04505 for GC The number here ^^^^^ is different every time. I even tried doing the javac command as root and got the same message, except for the number. What has me the most confused is I got it to work once. But then it hasn't worked again.
I found that these two environment variables are needed - I'm really not sure about the CLASSPATH though. What documentation there is says that it's a variable that's needed, but says nothing about what to put into it. CLASSPATH=.:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib FLAGS_CLASS=-green HAL9000:~/cs136$ dpkg -l jdk* Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ un jdk-shared <none> (no description available) un jdk-static <none> (no description available) ii jdk1.1 1.1.7v3-2 JDK 1.1.x (Java Development Kit) - Runtime o ii jdk1.1-dev 1.1.7v3-2 JDK 1.1.x (Java Development Kit) ii jdk1.1-native 1.1.7v3-2 JDK 1.1.x Runtime - native threads extension ii jdk1.1-native- 1.1.7v3-2 JDK 1.1.x - native threads extensions un jdk1.1-runtime <none> (no description available) Apparently the jdk-runtime package has been replaced by jdk1.1 What about the jdk-shared and jdk-static packages? I couldn't find any mention of either one in the Packages files in /var/state/apt/lists so I'm presuming they too have been superceeded. My system here is potato - did an apt-get update;apt-get dist-upgrade two or three days ago.
