Works fine for me.

You have to change the directory within your terminal.
If you downloaded it to your Desktop than open your terminal and
change to the Desktop with
“cd Desktop”. (Your terminal should start in your home).

After that follow the instructions above. Of course you have to edit the Java-Version. The actual version is
ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-8.0-linux-ppc.tgz. You have to take this version. Java 6 doesn’t work this way.

Hi everyone!

I’m also having trouble installing Java in the Feity PS3 version.

I’m having the same message as igniteflow:

“No such file or directory”

I’m on the desktop directory, the file is on the desktop, I made copy/paste of the name of the file to the Terminal and that message appeared.
It seems as if no file is saved on the Desktop?!

Can anyone help? With low Flash support and low java support, there a lot of websites that can’t be viewed correctly!!! And I don’t care about Utube, I’m talking about sites I need to insert data; for instance in my countries Finances site, I can’t even submit my forms on-line.

i’m not sure if it’s 8.04 only, but i cannot get this working. 8.04 uses Firefox 3.0b5 compiled for ppc64. Does this not work with 32bit plugins? I’ll mess with it some more, but I couldn’t get the 64bit java to work at all, and the 32bit one works but not in firefox… The files exist, running “file java” says it a dynamic exe but then “ldd java” says it’s not. Might still be a directory issue, but I tried the plugins directory in the start-up script, but used symbolic links … ugh I dunno.

I’ve downloaded the .tgz file to the desktop on ubuntu 7.10 but when i get to the second line of the terminal instructions i get “No such file or directory”
Where should I put the .tgz file for this to work?

to:

Code:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

The following instructions assume the latest version to download is “ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-4.0-linux-ppc.tgz” - modify the text below as needed.
In terminal:

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2 libstdc++5 java-package
$ mv ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-4.0-linux-ppc.tgz ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz
$ make-jpkg ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz
$ sudo dpkg -i ibm-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0_powerpc.deb
$ java -version
