[tcljava-user] can tclblend run on centos 7?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

I have been using tclblend for many years.
I have an older system that works and a new system I want to make work.
I am struggling with finding a combination of packages that will work.
I would like to run all the latest versions if possible.
I also want to run in 64 bit mode.
But first I want to find one combination that works.

In almost all cases the build and make and make install all run successfully
How important is it that "make test" run without a crash?
I can't find older jdk for centos 7
I have root to both machines and do whatever on want on the new one, the older one is being used in production.
I am looking for a logical approach to getting a build working and then verifying what other combination also work.
I am not a linux sys admin or very familiar with java.
I have learned enough to get done what I needed.

Also should this be posted in the users mail list or the dev users list?

I have an older redhat 6 system where I run tclblend. - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.4 (Santiago)

I have a new system and want to get tclblend running on it -  CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)

I tried many combinations of tcl, thread and jdk and all seem to build and install but when I try to execute I get an error
All my attempts have been in 64 bit mode.
