Java6 At Last!
Written on April 24, 2008 by Katherine W. Prawl
It’s required a lot of midnight oil and not a few grey hairs, but I finally got Java6 JDK, JRE and browser plugin installed. They’re not on Debian Linux, as I’d planned, but on a new installation of OpenSUSE Linux. That’s the distro Sun supports for Wonderland, so I finally gave in and reinstalled it after massive agony trying to translate all the cryptic-enough instructions for SUSE to Debian. It works now, and maybe I’ll go back and apply my new-found knowledge to install it on Debian, but that will have to wait at least a day or two. First I want to get Wonderland client to work, so I can use it to login to the machine some of our MICA members have set up to play with, and change my password there. I may be able to run an iteration of the server on Phil’s laptop while we’re driving this afternoon, unless I simply sleep after staying up ‘way too late to get this done. But done it is!! Yay!
