Summary: install problem jython-2.1 on AS/400

Initial Comment:
running the self-extracting installer results in :

java.lang.VerifyError: jython-21



IBM states that:

"-" (dash) isn't a legal character for a class name. 
Any JVM that accepts
it isn't compliant (or has verification turned off).



This is the answer I received when creating a problem
report with IBM about running the installer


jython seems to work fine if manually installed

Success!

Using the underscore version of the installer:
jython_21.class

And providing the flavour manually (Thanks for the tip Oti)

I was able to install successfully:
> java jython_21 -f unix -o /usr/local/db/jython-2.1
  try path /usr/local/db/install/
  Done
  $



Perhaps the next installer release can include an entry for 
os 'OS/400'
Beyond that this bug can be closed

After switching to the:
jython_21.class
installer

I now get the following:
> java jython_21 -o /usr/local/db/jython-2.1
  try path /usr/local/db/install/
  can not get flavour null for os 'OS/400'
  $

The AS/400 software version is V5R1

By manually I mean that I ran the installer on my windows box
and then copied over the resulting directory structure
to the AS/400

jython 2.0 works fine if installed this way
haven't tried 2.1 yet

The old JPython installer actually worked on the AS/400
using the no gui option
