OpenSim blog
Written on April 25, 2008 by Katherine W. Prawl
I’ve just added a link in my ‘blogroll’ (in the left sidebar) to justincc’s opensim blog. Thanks to Troy McConaghy for a pointer to that, specifically to an article in which Justin discusses distributed asset systems and open grids. Since I’m hoping to implement a server to connect to one of the grids he mentions, OSGrid, what he has to say is very interesting to me.
My own efforts toward implementing a home VW server have been progressing, but slowly. Wonderland is installed on my OpenSUSE VM after finally getting Java6 JDK to work properly, but I haven’t been able to get them to talk to each other yet. I suspect I need to roll back Java to the earlier release (update 5 instead of 6), since some dependencies seem to have fallen off the edge with the later one. I remember seeing a note about that in the Wonderland site a few weeks ago, but had forgotten in the excitement of finally finding the link to the JDK software. Sun does not make it easy to find things on their website, mainly because they offer so much that deciding exactly what it is you need can be very confusing for the uninitiated. I do have the older release downloaded, so I’ll try installing and running with that next.
