Processing in fedora 8
Feb 21st, 2008, 6:55pm  
HI

I've been trying to run processing on fedora for a while
i just re installed java following this guide:
http://www.fedoraguide.info/index.php/Fedora8#Sun_Java_.28Mehod_1.29

and tested it with Jedit 4.2, and it works

also i downloaded jikes from sourceforge and compiled it.

but when i execute : ./processing

got this:

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/

Good luck!

I just want to know if someone is using processing under fedora 8, or any fedora

I made it

the problem was the link to sun's java

i was linking java to the wrong place, because i was following the instructions from here:
http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Collaboration;action=display;num=1123885163

so instead of linking to:
# ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun java

i searched in the /usr/lib and found this

/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0/bin


Solution:

download jikes from sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=128803

I followed this for compiling jikes
http://cymulacrum.net/writings/jikes/t1.html#ABOUT_JIKES

check for java version with the command: java -version

mine is:
java version "1.6.0_04"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_04-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode)

//installed followign this guide
http://fedoraguide.info/index.php/Fedora8#Sun_Java_.28Method_1.29

also i had to update the libxcb library, because according to this guy: http://bloggernitin.blogspot.com/2007/12/sun-java-on-fedora-8-has-issue.html
the libxcb is buggy

so: open a terminal and:
su
yum update libxcb

after all this go
inside the processing folder:
/usr/local/bin/processing-0135

make a link to the jvm

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0/bin java

and also link jikes

ln -s /usr/local/bin jikes

inside the processing folder
double click over the processing file, and a dialog will pop
click were it says: run in terminal

or type ./processing, in the command line

and is done!

so far i tested the openGL examples and the work fine
no aparent slowdown

Good luck!
