Unable to run anything
Sep 5^th, 2009, 8:36pm

So I'm new to Processing. I have some experience with Java, but it was many years ago. I downloaded and installed the latest version, but I'm not able to run anything. I tried a blank file, a simple line(), an example program, and I keep getting the following message:

Code:


Could not run the sketch.

[0] "Unrecognized option: -d32"
[1] "Could not create the Java virtual machine."

Using startup command:

{command=command=java -d32 -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=127.0.0.1:8289,suspend=y -Xdock:name=sketch_sep05b -Djava.library.path=:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java:/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Resources:.:/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java -cp /tmp/build8449133547020162308.tmp:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/pde.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/core.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/antlr.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ecj.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/registry.jar:/Applications/Processing.app/Contents/Resources/Java/quaqua.jar:/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Classes/.compatibility/14compatibility.jar processing.core.PApplet "--editor-location=1135,122" --external --display=1 --sketch-path=/tmp/untitled2288840213417491220.tmp/sketch_sep05b sketch_sep05b , quote=quote=", address=address=127.0.0.1:8289}

I'm running OS X 10.4, Java 1.5.

I've been searching the web and the forum all day, but can't seem to solve the problem. Hopefully it's not something too obvious..

Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if I can provide any other information.

Thanks!

Found that out the hard way. What is the result when you type: java -version in terminal?

Milq YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 4	Re: Unable to run anything Reply #3 - Sep 6^th, 2009, 2:50pm Here is the result of java -version: Code: Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_19-b02-306) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_19-138, mixed mode, sharing) I have not, as far as I can remember, installed a JVM manually. I haven't done much tinkering with java on this machine at all.

Milq YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 4	Re: Unable to run anything Reply #5 - Sep 6^th, 2009, 3:04pm Yep; the sketch in that link worked just fine (and was very cool).

ben_hem Senior Member Offline Posts: 399 CA, US	Re: Unable to run anything Reply #6 - Sep 6^th, 2009, 3:40pm Well, then there's nothing wrong with your JVM. Which makes me think it must be Processing, but I'm sure you've tried reinstalling that... out of curiosity...I will put up Processing 0135 for Mac OSX here (uses Java 1.4) : http://benhem.com/dumpage/Processing0135.zip does that work (glad you liked seeds by the way)

Actually, yes, 0135 did work. I'm excited and confused a the same time.

I have reinstalled the latest build several times without luck. So I went and tried 1.0.6, and tada! That works fine.

so I guess I can just stick to 1.0.6 right now, unless there's some reason I need to be on the very current version.

Thank you very much for all of your help! I'm sure I'll be back for more later

ben_hem Senior Member Offline Posts: 399 CA, US	Re: Unable to run anything Reply #8 - Sep 10^th, 2009, 10:36am I just grabbed 1.0.7 and got the same error: [0] "Unrecognized option: -d32" [1] "Could not create the Java virtual machine." So I went back to 1.0.6. Ben, Casey, if you see this: I think you may have traded PPC for Snow Leopard!

I've repeated it on a Dual G5/2 GHz/4GB/10.4.11, but 1.0.7 works fine on my MacBook Pro running 10.6.1. On the G5, downgrading to 1.0.6 made it work again.

mungbean YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 18	Re: Unable to run anything Reply #10 - Sep 18^th, 2009, 4:43am another me too... trying to setup processing on 1.0.7 in a gallery here on a 10.4.11 aluminium iMac/2.4GHz. ~~Just tried 1.0.6 but the DMG seems to have no libraries or examples.~~ (need more sleep... 1.0.6 working fine)
