What's happening?

Followup: RE: Installing in Mandrake

Hi, If you installed the sun java, it's probably installed somewhere in /usr/java. I don't know about the jre, perhaps it's in /usr/java/jre1.4.2_02 or something like that. Look around and find the bin directory that contains the java executable. I don't think that linux can launch jar files by double clicking them, I might be wrong. What I'd do is put the jbidwatcher jar somewhere like /u.

error with snipe

I noticed this morning that jbidwatcher failed to snipe an auction that went for $62 and which I had a $75 max on. I looked in the log file and found this. I see two relevant errors, not sure which one matters. There's the error about not being able to connect to eBay and then the error saying the server redirected too many times. I'm thinking perhaps the error about not being able to connect.
