Installing Processing on Gusty
Nov 19th, 2007, 12:40am
 
Hello,

After I downloaded the .tgz processing package on this site and I unpacked the files, I could not open the processing file. I then tried to open processing through the terminal and I received this notification

"It appears that the version of Jikes distributed with Processing
cannot properly run on this system.
Possible solutions:
+ If you already have Jikes installed on your system, you may
just need to remove the version that is included with Processing.
+ You probably just need to track down a version of Jikes that will
work with your distribution.
+ You may need to install the rpm/package for compat-libstdc++
This is what it takes to get things running on most versions
of RedHat Linux or Fedora Core.
+ If all else fails, or if you just like building stuff yourself,
you can download the source for Jikes from SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128803
And it just takes a simple ./configure and make, followed by
copying src/jikes to the processing-XXXX folder and you should
be all set.
If you get stuck, ask questions online from the helpful folks via
the Processing discussion board: http://processing.org/discourse/"(quotes added)

I have installed Jikes (at least I'm pretty sure that I have), but I still don't know what to do after that point.
