Hi,

I'm trying to run Jarnal for purposes of exporting notes from my e-book (Sony PRS-600) into PDFs. (Anyone interested in the details can check out http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...28795&posted=1)

There's a .deb for Jarnal available, which installs successfully, but trying to run Jarnal produces the following error message:

/usr/bin/jarnal: line 17: 4089 Aborted java -Xmx192m -jar ${JARNALDIR}/jarnal.jar -g -t ${TEMPLATESDIR}/templates/default.jaj "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"

The Jarnal .deb is available at
http://www.dklevine.com/general/soft...arnal-down.htm

There's also a regular zip package available, and trying to run that after unzipping produces the following:

./jarnal.sh: line 14: 4418 Aborted java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Xmx192m -jar jarnal.jar -t templates/default.jaj "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5"

What's the problem?

Probably an incompatible java. ( A gcj java or openjdk ? IcedTea ? )
The sun java works OK with any of the jarnal versions : The GUI opens.

1) # apt-get install sun-java6-jre ( Or sun-java6-jdk )

2) # update-alternatives --config java
.... and then choose the "sun java".

'java -version' should then show : java version "1.6.0_20" etc.
....

That did the trick, thanks!
