Re: Problem installing ncBrowse on a linux Redhat Enterprise system (64- bit platform)

[Donald Denbo <Donald.W.Denbo@noaa.gov>]

John,

On Linux RedHat Enterprise  2.6.9-42.0.8 x86_64 with JavaVM 1.5.0_06-b05.  ncBrowse installed without error.  I downloaded ncBrowse_1_6_3.bin from the "Linux" link at ftp://ftp.epic.noaa.gov/java/ncBrowse/index.html

I'm curious about gcj and its actual compatibility to java.  I would suggest that you install the latest java VM 1.5.0 or 1.6.0 and try again.

Good afternoon,

 

I have the following system:

 

Linux RedHat Enterprise version 4 update 3

Kernel: 2.6.9-34.ELsmp     x86_64 --- 64 bit platform

 

Java VM:

/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj

 

/usr/bin/java       link to   /etc/alternatives/java    link to   /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj/bin/java

 

"java -version" returns:

 

java version "1.4.2"

gcj (GCC) 3.5.5  20051201  (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)

.... other output omitted here

 

I downloaded ncBrowse for Linux, version 1.6.2, in BINARY mode

 

(I edited the code to NOT exit if the unpacked archive file sizes do not match those listed in the script)

 

Running   ./.ncBrowse_1_6_2.bin returns

Is the error in trying to install the code on a 64-bit platform?  What do you suggest I do?

 

I also tried downloading the jar files   ncBrowse.jar  visad.jar   noaa_pmel.jar  netcdfAll.jar    dods.jar

png.jar    lashandler.jar, and placed them in /usr/local/jar

 

I wrote the following script  "ncBrowse"

 

#!/bin/sh

#

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.4.2-gcj

export JAVA_HOME

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

 

classpath="/usr/local/jar/ncBrowse.jar:\
/usr/local/jar/visad.jar:/usr/local/jar/noaa_pmel.jar:\
/usr/local/jar/netcdfAll.jar:/usr/local/jar/dods.jar:\
/usr/local/jar/png.jar:/usr/local/jar/lashandler.jar"

 

gij --classpath $classpath  ncBrowse.Browser $1

 

 

Running

 

./ncBrowse   <netcdf file>

 

returns

java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit: gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit

.... other output omitted here...

 

Any suggestions?

 

Cheers,
