How can i start phex in Linux. I unpacked it, but what do i have to do next. How do i start the program??????

First make sure that you have Java installed, and that you can execute java by typing "java" in the console.

If you have a problem ("command not found") at this stage let me know, I will explain that further.

If java works simply type:

java -jar /path/to/your/Phex/directory/phex.jar

By the way which Linux are you using?

Try Mandrake 8.0!! It RULEZ.

Hope that helps.

Ok i have no java, so i probaly have to download it from sun. If you have other ideas please let me know.

btw RH is not to bad:-)

Finally got phex working. Great but slow


Kyrillos

I have redhat 7.3 with j2sdk 1.4 and I get a command not found when I type java on the Konsole or when when I do java -jar phex.jar and yes am on the directory were phex is.
why does it show command not found and how do i fix it

Thanks in advance

Hello sadatx,

check your path environment variable, is your j2jre/bin directory in?

Im having the same problem with java not being found. Im not sure what you mean by "j2jre" directory. I have a jre directory. i.e

/usr/javaj2sdk1.4.0_02/jre/bin

I dont know much about Linux actually. I just want to get this thing working now, dont want it to defeat me if you know what I mean

Do this as root
export PATH="/usr/javaj2sdk1.4.0_02/jre/bin":$PATH
that will add the java bin directory to the path, you might want to add that line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local so it does it every time you start the machine, or make a sh script like this

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Java..."
PATH="/usr/javaj2sdk1.4.0_02/jre/bin":$PATH
echo "Done..."

Save it as java.sh and copy it to /etc/profile.d/

Good Luck

I did the java test thing in console and i got this:


where options include:
-help print out this message
-version print out the build version
-v -verbose turn on verbose mode
-debug enable remote JAVA debugging
-noasyncgc don't allow asynchronous garbage collection
-verbosegc print a message when garbage collection occurs
-noclassgc disable class garbage collection
-cs -checksource check if source is newer when loading classes
-ss<number> set the maximum native stack size for any thread
-oss<number> set the maximum Java stack size for any thread
-ms<number> set the initial Java heap size
-mx<number> set the maximum Java heap size
-D<name>=<value> set a system property
-classpath <directories separated by colons>
list directories in which to look for classes
-prof[:<file>] output profiling data to ./java.prof or ./<file>
-verify verify all classes when read in
-verifyremote verify classes read in over the network [default]
-noverify do not verify any class

Then i put the write path and got he same thing.

This is what i get actually:


java -jar /home/walham/Desktop/directory/phex/phex.jar
-jar: illegal argument
Usage: java [-options] class
