cannot start phex - java errors
 

I used to be able to use phex, but now I just get a bunch of errors when I try to start it.

I am using phex_2.8.0.91 running on kubuntu linux 5.10, using the following java:


$ java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)


The error messages when I try to start phex are as follows:


$phex

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

You are not using Sun Java. As other java intensive apps, alternatives to Sun java are not up to the skill.... yet.

Ciao

Thank you
 

thank you, et voilà... I got the sun java & it works. Its too bad phex won't work with my GNU java anymore, since that was more convenient... but that's the way it goes sometimes, I suppose.
