Trying to get 2 warez to work in Ubuntu
I just switched to Ubuntu Linux. So far it has been a good experience, but I have a couple problems with software.
First off, I have been trying to get Java 1.5 to work (or Java 5.0 if you prefer). It comes as an RPM or as source. I tried to get the RPM to work by using alien to convert it to a DEB. However, I could not install it. It just refused to run. This may be because I am not use to a Debian based system, so I might have used the incorrect commands. Secondly, I want to install WASTE so I can connect to a campus file sharing network. I got the source, and tried to find an install documentation, but couldn't. I'm pretty new to Linux, so I started running the config and make commands to no avail. Anyone have experience with this software? Thanks for the help. |
Please post the errors, so that others could contribute. The information you provided is pretty generic.
Peace!! |
There are directions on the Ubuntu forum and their site with regards to installing java.

Sorry I took so long to get back on this
I had to reinstall ubuntu and grub and resizing my partitions overwrote the boot sector (yes, I am that dumb).
Anyways, I got java installed after reading through the instructions on the ubuntu site. It was really just a matter of changing source.list to include multiverse. However, I still can't get waste to work. As near as I can tell, its almost all written in c++. So, I tried running g++ with the config.cpp and main.cpp with nothing more than errors. I don't have anymore information than that. So, it would help a lot if someone who has installed waste in linux (any distro) could give me an idea of what I need to do. Thanks again. |
