Most of the effort when into getting the Java communications library installed and working. <PRE> First I deleted all references to rxtx from my java directory as follows: rm /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/rxtx* rm /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/ext/comm.jar rm /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar Then I re-installed rxtx-2.0-7pre2 as follows 1. make sure there's a JAVA_HOME environment variable # echo $JAVA_HOME should display something like /usr/lib/jvm/java 2. add JAVA_HOME to the PATH # PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH 3. unpack rxtx # tar zxf rxtx-2.0-7pre2.tar.gz 4. install it # cd rxtx-2.0-7pre2 # ./configure during configure it asks you whether to run the script to place comm.jar in the appropriate directory. On a side note, when I specified the comm.jar that you sent me (the 28034 byte one) it told me it was a Windows version of comm.jar so I grabbed the one that I downloaded the second time which is 29411 bytes which I got from javacomm20-x86. I thought Macs ran a flavour of linux? Oh well. This is the file I used: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29411 2007-05-27 10:40 comm.jar # make # make install and everything ended up in /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/javax.comm.properties /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/ext/comm.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/ext/RXTXcomm.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/librxtxParallel-2.0.7pre2.so /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/librxtxParallel.la /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/librxtxParallel.so /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/librxtxSerial-2.0.7pre2.so /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/librxtxSerial.la /usr/lib/jvm/java/jre/lib/i386/librxtxSerial.so and javax.comm.properties contains Driver=gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver with a line feed after it :^) some other notes.. openSuse has no lock group, only uucp, I edited my /etc/group file like this: uucp:x:14:robert and permissions on /dev/ttyS0 are crw-rw---- 1 root uucp 4, 64 2007-05-27 11:56 /dev/ttyS0 Essentially I think I'd been messing around with it for so long I had different versions of rxtx and comm.jar everywhere. At least I didn't have to reinstall Linux (again!). Lesson - make sure you follow the instructions. If I'd loaded commapi version 2 in the first place it would have been fine :^) instead I just grabbed the first one I saw on the sun site which was version 3. </PRE> <hr class="hide"> <!-- Footer --> <hr class="hide"> <div id="footer"> <ul id="bn"> <li><a href="/sitemap/">Site Map</a></li> <li><a href="/contact/">Contact Us</a></li> </ul> <p>Thanks and congratulations to <A href="/community/" title="Who is JMRI"> all who contributed</A>! </p> <p>Copyright © 1997 - 2004 JMRI Community. <P>JMRI, DecoderPro, PanelPro, DispatcherPro and associated logos are our trademarks. <P><A href="/Copyright.html">Additional information on copyright, trademarks and licenses is linked here.</a></p> <BR/>Site hosted by: <BR/> <A href="http://sourceforge.net"> <IMG src="http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=26788&type=1" width="88" height="31" border="0" alt="SourceForge Logo"> </A> </div> <!-- /Footer --> </div><!-- closes #mainContent--> </div> <!-- closes #mBody--> </div> <!-- closes #container --> </body> </html> Index: FAQLinux.html =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/jmri/site.new/install/FAQLinux.html,v retrieving revision 1.8 retrieving revision 1.9 diff -C2 -d -r1.8 -r1.9 *** FAQLinux.html 18 Sep 2006 01:32:24 -0000 1.8 --- FAQLinux.html 27 May 2007 23:51:27 -0000 1.9 *************** *** 69,74 **** contains a description of his work. <p> !
