Re: Getting Netscape and Java Runtime to work o Ubuntu PowerPc version.

Hi folks,


Thanks for helping me.

It seems that Daniel's tip is a good try.

I got the tgz files from IBM's servers.

But I am stuck in installing the "make-jpkg" tool.

It seems that my system "doesn't known" where to get it, and I have a connection error when getting a repository list from  "http://br.archive.ubuntu.com".

I have already run "apt-get update" and get similar results from "synaptic" GUI tool.

I guess I could tell my system to get it somewhere else, but how?

Any further help will be very welcome.

i believe the original poster was being stymied by a Java Applet on a
powerpc platform, which usually means that switching user agents won't
do the trick.

Unfortunately, the most widely-used Java Virtual Machine (the JVM is
the piece of software that runs Java applets) is not free software,
and has not been released on the powerpc platform.

However, there are other PPC-based JVMs available.  The ubuntu wiki
has some suggestions for PPC java:
