Ok, I went to install it in Ubuntu and it wants a version of the java-sdk (1.4) that is obsolete. Let me dig around a bit and I'll work up some instructions for it. Or Dimes could update their software, but hopefully no biggie.

alrighty,
First you need to install an old java environment.
Open Synaptic and install sun-java5-jdk
Once that is done run the following command:
| Code: | | sudo update-alternatives --config java |
Select the 1.5 java
| Code: | | sudo bash -c "echo JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/ >> /etc/environment" |
Next, unfortunately you need to update your environment. easiest way is to log out and then log back in (you do not need to reboot)
next, download the software from the DIMES download page http://www.netdimes.org/new/?q=node/10
I downloaded the service version, place it in a directory where you want to install it, then open a terminal and cd to it.
Now we have to unpack it.
| Code: | | tar -xvf DIMES_Linux.tar.gz |
And then install it
| Code: | sh linuxInstall.sh
sh linuxAgent.sh
|
It also has scripts for setting it as a service, but it was being cranky for me, but this will get the agent up and running for you.
I went back and downloaded just the agent, unpacked it and it was giving some errors when I tried to configure/install it so I'll play with it later, but the above will get the agent running. If you run it on windows then you know more about running it then I do, give it a whirl and if it still is giving you issues let me know. it should be relaunchable with the sh linuxAgent.sh command if you have to restart for some reason, or you can make a shortcut command on your desktop.

That was the first error I got but it decided to play nice with JRE 1.5
when you used:
| Code: | | sudo update-alternatives --config java |
Did you select:
| Code: | | /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java |
Next type
| Code: | | cat /etc/environment |
And verify that there is a line:
| Code: | | JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/ |
If there is another line in there that starts with JAVA_HOME, then you have to edit the file and comment it out with a #
For example:
| Code: | | #JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/ |
Then log out and back in again and try the install. The requirement for an older java environment should be the only issue with the install that you get. Let me know how this goes and if it doesn't work I'll hit it with a hammer until it gets worked out!

here is what I have:
| Quote: | setislave4@setislave4-desktop:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 5 alternatives which provide `java'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
* 1 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
3 /usr/bin/cacao
4 /usr/bin/jamvm
+ 5 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 1
Using '/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide 'java'.
setislave4@setislave4-desktop:~$ cat /etc/environment
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/
setislave4@setislave4-desktop:~$
|
How do I edit /etc/environment? gedit won't let me, since I am not logged in as root.
EDIT: Used Alt-F2 and editied the file, and got it running. Now I can't configure it... |

What exactly are you trying to configure? I don't run dimes so I need a reference to play with.

Sir JG,
Did you get it figured out then? All shrubbing on the dimes front?
