I installed bittorrent jdsdk and azureus, but i can not getting started :

azureus
Starting Azureus...
Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search...
ls: /usr/java: No such file or directory
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in /usr/java/ hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com

What should i do?

Thank you. Harp00.

JRE is the Java Runtime Environment - you have to install it

You need to add java to your $PATH - I have the following in my .bashrc file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin

Then reset your bash session by logging out then back in.

(That is of course, if you were to install the full J2SDK)

So, i installed azureus-2.2.0.0-noarch-suk.tgz bittorrent-3.4.2-noarch-1.tgz and j2sdk-1_4_2_04-i586-3.tgz using installpkg as root.
Do i need to add something to my .bashrc file or install jre-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin?
Sorry, but i am not an engeneer and trying to learn Linux by myself.

by installing j2sdk-1_4_2_04-i586-3.tgz you would need to add what I posted above to your .bashrc file - although make sure that the location and version numbers are correct.

Sorry, but i do not have that path.
I only have /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04/

if you install java from Slackware you don't need to edit your .bash_profile because Slackware is configured to put java in your path.

What is the output when you type

echo $PATH

@darkstar:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/www/htdig/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin
:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.

Actually, I had to add it to my path on a fresh install of Slack 10. It doesn't come with a .bashrc or /etc/bashrc so /etc/profile is what I edited.

All of it should already be there except for the:

part... I think that may be the location for the Java Virtual Machine.... I know I have to add that so LimeWire will install. It may be the same for Azureus. I don't know know. I'm on my Windows partition at the moment...

So, you didn't need to install Java because you already have it. You might have wanted to get Azureus straight from their web site. It's precompiled and ready to go already. There is no need to install the regular BitTorrent client as well. Azureus is self-contained and will run without it. I would do a 'removepkg' on all three of those, change your /etc/profile so it's got that extra location in your path and then download Azureus from HERE

Double-click on it to extract. Cut/Paste it into /usr/share or wherever you think it should go and then do a:

Then just type 'azureus' at a command prompt or make a launcher on your Desktop for it. Good luck whatever you do..

Thank you jong357 i followed your suggests and it seems to work now.
I only downloaded .bz2 file and tar it.
Without editing any file it works just typing ./azureus from tar dir.
See you soon.

Azureus 2.2.0.0 works much faster using the jre_1.5.0 version of java.

I'll have to try the latest JRE cause I am having some shutdown issues with azureus and the stock SDK... Thanks for the info...

Glad you got it running.. Thats a little sloppy leaving that folder on your desktop or in your home directory... Why don't you cut/paste that tar folder into /usr/share and run that last command I listed above.... That way you wont have to 'cd' into it all the time.... just type 'azureus' at any prompt...

I tried to find that pkg but i did not found it.
Could you please let me know the link?

I have an ADSL 640 kbps. How should i set upload and download values?
I set 20 upload and 80 download.
Thank you.

P.s. Thank you jong. I already done it. Good suggest!

You can get JRE from SUN (other groups distributes it too, but this is the official ), or update Java SDK that comes with slackware, it's 1.5.0 in slackware-current and includes the new JRE.
Here's the link to it: http://www.slackware.com/pb/showdesc...k-1_5_0-i586-1
