It doesn't find Java because you need to log out and back in once, after have first installed it (or at least source the profile file it setup in /etc/profile.d).

I don't have fortune anymore, but this one is very good.

Yeah, this was a very odd thread. Not sure how we got to page two of comments with so many obvious errors. Presumably most of the regulars were asleep or otherwise occupied.

I think this isn't the problem, because it didn't work to me.
I suspect that this piece is missing the java path.

BibleDesktop.sh

Code:

if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then 
  if [ -n "$JAVA_HOME"  ] ; then
    if [ -x "$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java" ] ; then 
      # IBM's JDK on AIX uses strange locations for the executables
      JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java"
    else
      JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
    fi
  else
    JAVACMD=`ls -d $ROOT/Java/linux/jre*/bin/java 2> /dev/null`
    if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then 
      JAVACMD=`which java 2> /dev/null `
      if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then 
        JAVACMD=java
      fi
    fi
  fi
fi

Did you actually try? I mean logging out and in again, as I suggested.

I am not going to install this program to check for you but a re-log should work since /etc/profile.d/openjdk.sh sets up $JAVA_HOME as I stated previously.

It also adds the java to the $PATH.

Code:

$ cat /etc/profile.d/openjdk.sh
#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export MANPATH="${MANPATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/man"
export PATH="${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${JAVA_HOME}/jre/bin"

Yes, my JAVA_HOME is set correctly.

The problem is that with Open java the path is set incorrectly in BibleDesktop.sh.
I don't know with Oracle java, I don't have it.

Indeed, I stand corrected.

I just ran a quick test. On 32-bit Slackware with Oracle JRE installed, the path to Java matches what BibleDesktop.sh sets $JAVACMD to.

Code:

$ ls /var/log/packages/*jre*           
/var/log/packages/jre-7u60-i586-1
$ cat test # Using the code snippet you provided from BibleDesktop.sh
if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then 
  if [ -n "$JAVA_HOME"  ] ; then
    if [ -x "$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java" ] ; then 
      # IBM's JDK on AIX uses strange locations for the executables
      JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/jre/sh/java"
    else
      JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
    fi
  else
    JAVACMD=`ls -d $ROOT/Java/linux/jre*/bin/java 2> /dev/null`
    if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then 
      JAVACMD=`which java 2> /dev/null `
      if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ] ; then 
        JAVACMD=java
      fi
    fi
  fi
fi

echo $JAVACMD
$ ./test      
/usr/lib/java/bin/java
$ which java  
/usr/lib/java/bin/java

For comparison, with OpenJRE:

Code:

$ ls /var/log/packages/*jre*  
/var/log/packages/openjre-7u55_b14-i486-1alien
$ ./test                    
/usr/lib/java/bin/java
$ which java                
/usr/lib/java/jre/bin/java

In summary, you are right. BibleDesktop.sh is stupid because it assumes Oracle Java will be used.

I think that line in the 'else', "JAVACMD=`which java 2> /dev/null `" would be the first one,
out of conditional. It would save a lot of problems.

Why not?

Code:

installpkg /tmp/openjdk-7u55_b14-x86_64-1alien.txz

Oops! Missed reading a page.

Also installpkg will install local packages but only Slackware packages. AlienBOB's Java package will be fine but not any random tar you happen to come across. Remember that while Slackware packages are compressed tar archives, not every compressed tar archive is a Slackware package.

Code:

installpkg /home/zebracat/Downloads/openjdk-7u55_b14-x86_64-1alien.txz

Thanks for the confirmation on not using slackpkg to install local files.

Try using installpkg instead of slackpkg.

After installing java, you can try that
$ JAVACMD=$(type -p java) sh BibleDesktop.sh
because BibleDesktop.sh doesn't find java path.

A little off-topic, bibledesktop-1.6 dir size is 3.7MB.
When I launch Bible Desktop, it says that I have no Bibles
installed and asks to download from internet. Is this right?

Yes that's right.
Upon install BibleDesktop there will not be any modules installed.
You have to go through and choose the various types of modules (various different bibles/books) that you want.
A fresh install of Xiphos you have to do the same thing.

I'll try this now while I am in the Downloads directory with bibledesktop-1.6

Code:

JAVACMD=$(type -p java) sh BibleDesktop.sh

Should I open the bibledesktop-1.6 file and use ls to show all the files in the termianl and than run
the above cmd?

Just cd to the directory and run the command. You don't need to list the files.

EDIT: Actually you don't even need to cd to the directory, you could do:

JAVACMD=$(type -p java) sh /path/to/BibleDesktop.sh

moisespedro · 06-12-2014, 05:32 PM

Type the correct path

Ztcoracat · 06-12-2014, 05:54 PM

I went to my Downloads directory where the bibledesktop-1.6 is to check on the full path.
I found the BibleDesktop.sh file.

Unless my vision is failing me the full path should be:
/home/zebracat/Downloads/bibledesktop-1.6/

Took a screenshot for you to see:- Looking at the screenshot; do you agree?
http://s1052.photobucket.com/user/Ul...sktop.png.html

So unless I'm mistaken I can now run this:

Code:

JAVACMD=$(type -p java) sh /home/zebracat/Downloads/bibledesktop-1.6/BibleDesktop.sh

Right?
