hi ALL,

I need to run a Bittorrent software "snark" for my MSc Project.

http://klomp.org/snark/

When I try "make" command it shows following error

gcj-3.3 -g -O2 --main=org.klomp.snark.Snark -o snark org/klomp/snark/BitField.java org/klomp/snark/ConnectionAcceptor.java org/klomp/snark/HttpAcceptor.java org/klomp/snark/MetaInfo.java org/klomp/snark/Message.java org/klomp/snark/Peer.java org/klomp/snark/PeerID.java org/klomp/snark/PeerAcceptor.java org/klomp/snark/PeerCheckerTask.java org/klomp/snark/PeerConnectionIn.java org/klomp/snark/PeerConnectionOut.java org/klomp/snark/PeerListener.java org/klomp/snark/PeerCoordinator.java org/klomp/snark/PeerState.java org/klomp/snark/Request.java org/klomp/snark/Snark.java org/klomp/snark/SnarkShutdown.java org/klomp/snark/Storage.java org/klomp/snark/Tracker.java org/klomp/snark/TrackerClient.java org/klomp/snark/TrackerInfo.java org/klomp/snark/bencode/BEValue.java org/klomp/snark/bencode/BEncoder.java org/klomp/snark/bencode/BDecoder.java org/klomp/snark/bencode/InvalidBEncodingException.java
make: gcj-3.3: Command not found
make: *** [snark] Error 127


makefile is present in the folder where I run "make" command.
can anyone help me with this please

are you running this as root or yourself?

Also, according to google, try this

The gcc-java package installs a binary called gcj, while make is looking
for gcj-3.3. Creating a gcj-3.3 symlink to the gcj binary might resolve
the problem. A symlink can be created with the following command as
root:

# ln -s /usr/bin/gcj /usr/bin/gcj-3.3

Very simple, in fact :

Edit ' Makefile ' line 3 to ' gcj '.

# yum install java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel libgcj-devel
.. if RH EL5 or CentOS 5.x

.. and 'make' works .. and creates ' snark '
You can then try : sh snark-gnome.sh
after you edit snark-gnome.sh line 4 to a 'java'
( gij or java ) you think will work.

Probably no luck, snark has not been maintained since 2003
and will not work on a modern Linux, I think.
