[Jxplorer-users] jxplorer on (Red Hat) linux

[Wolf Siedler]

can anyone help Alan? He's having display problems with JX on an
8 cpu red hat box.

I am running JXplorer on Fedora Core 5 with JRE 1.4.2_12 and now SDK
1.4.2_13.

Never used GCJ, but followed the instructions from Stanton Finley
(http://www.stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html#Java)
for Sun Java installation on Fedora. I didn't modify anything beyond his
instructions.
Great information, BTW.

Besides, I start JXplorer by this shell script (obviously, JXplorer
resides in /jdrive/jxplorer):
--------------
#!/bin/sh
cd /jdrive/jxplorer32b4
sh ./jxplorer.sh
-------------
When attempting starting JXplorer directly by
sh ./jdrive/jxplorer32b4/jxplorer.sh

starting JXplorer...
Use "jxstart.sh console" if you want logging to the console
=========================
JXplorer failed to start
=========================
Please ensure that you have appropriate "xhost" access to the machine you are
running this from. Make sure the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly.
Otherwise, ask your Unix Systems Administrator for more information on running
X Windows applications.
If you require more information run "/jdrive/jxplorer32b4/jxplorer.sh console" and check the
error produced.

Unfortunately, my Linux/X11 knowledge is not yet good enough to find a
more elegant solution than the script - but it works for me.

Maybe the proximity of Red Hat and Fedora justifies a try.

Wolf
