Installing on Mandriva LE 10.2
 

Can anyone tell me the secret to installing Phex to this OS, I use it on my Win sys but would like to use it on my Linux sys. When I click the Phex.jar file as instructetd it only opens it as an archive of files. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You need a Java runtime, then you simply use:

java -jar phex.jar

from within the directory containing the jars.

Thanks for the info. OK i installed a java runtime and invoked the command in the Phex directory here is what I get

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JWindow
at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke0 (Method.java)
at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke (Method.java:255)
at kaffe.jar.ExecJarName.main (ExecJarName.java:67)
at kaffe.jar.ExecJar.main (ExecJar.java:75)

I used the command as you suggested

java -jar phex.jar and this is the response. Any ideas?

Thanks

You need to use a different Java distribution...
Phex needs Java 1.4, try to look at a Java VM from Sun or IBM.

Kaffe only supports Java 1.1 and is not an officially Java VM.
