Using MapMan

To which Java file do i refer in my install

Hi,

I just tried to install Mapman on my Linux machine. Since Mapman uses Java I ran into the expected problem. The install asks which Java Virtual Machine I would like to use. I can refer to thousand java related files but have no clue which one I should refer to.

Thanks!

Hi,

you need to choose the java executable.

e.g.  
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.15/bin/java (sun java 1.5 on ubuntu)
or
/usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/bin/java (sun java 1.6 on centos)
or
/usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-ibm/bin/java (ibm java 1.5on suse linux enterprise server)

or you use which to search for the java executable (e.g.)
#  which java
# /usr/bin/java

hope that helps

Thanks for that, I found several, tried only the ones that correspond to 64 bit. The installer says that errors occurred and that I should see the error log, which I cannot find.

I installed the typical for Linux Ubuntu (usr/bin), nothing there. I choose a specific directory for links etc, there I only see two files Mapman and Unistall Mapman. Any idea where it might pop up?

In case Mapman is not 64 bit compatible I might try the 32 Java? I have this installed for proper internet browsing.


Thanks Again

The warnings during installation do appear for me as well. See the attached images how I installed. You can then start MapMan from your Desktop or where ever you have choosen to install the links (image 3).
Whatever the warnings are,they don't seem to be a problem.
