Dear Friends
I WILL WRITE IN CAPITALS NOT BECAUSE I AM SHOUTING, BUT JUST TO
> DIFFERENTIATE FROM THE PREVIOUS MESSAGE I WROTE AND A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TRIED
> TO HELP ME. EITHER I AM DOING SOMETHING QUITE WRONG OR THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT
> RUN IN LINUX.
1. INDEED I HAVE DOWNLOADED THE FILE, FROM SEVERAL SITES, INCLUDING TWO
VERSIONS, NEITHER OF THEN WORKED.
2. I HAVE IT EXTRACTED TO THE DESKTOP AND KEPT THE THE SAME NAME TO THE
DIRECTORY.
3. THE PROBLEM ARISES WHEN I TYPE
chmod -R u+x /home/[user]/Desktop/JMicroVision-v127-linux (I KNOW
THAT I SHOULD INSERT THE NAME OF THE COMPUTER IN USER, FOR INSTANCE)
THERE'S A MESSAGE SAYING THE DIRECTORY DOES NOT EXIST.
IF I USE cd TO WORK WITHIN THE DIRECTORY OR EVEN IF I TYPE THE CHANGE MODE
(chmod) NOTHING WORKS.
THERE ARE, HOWEVER, SOMETHING VERY ODD. EVEN IN THE PAGE WHERE I HAVE
DOWNLOADED THE SOFTWARE A tar.gz FORMAT IS ALWAYS MENTIONED. THERE IS IN THE
DIRECTORY NO SUC tar.gz THE ONLY SIMILAR FILE IS JMicroVision.jar. I HAVE
ALSO TRIED THROUGH JAVA TO SEE IF I COULD UNPACK IT, BUT NO SUCESS.
I THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO ASK IF SOMEONE HAS ALREADY MANAGED TO RUN
JMicroVision IN UBUNTU, BUT THIS IS, INDEED, ASK FOR TOO MUCH.
I MUST ADMIT IN THE PROCESS THAT I HAVE GAINED SOME KNOWLEDGE, I NOW KNOW
HOW TO UNPACK tar FILES, I KNOW THE chmod, I ALSO KNOW THAT SOME FILES ARE
PACKED THROUGH JAVA, REDUNCING MY LEVEL OF IGNORANCE (A COMMON FEATURE TO
EVERYONE, AS IT HAS BEEN SAID).
CHEERS
