InstallAnywhere is preparing to install...
Please choose a Java virtual machine to run this
program.
(These virtual machines were found on your PATH)
-------------------------------------
1: /usr/bin/java
2: /bin/java
3: Exit
The number of items that appear on this list will vary depending on
the installation of Java on your machine. This selection is the Java
Virtual Machine that the installer will use to run
the install wizard (not to run StarView).
-
Once the install program is running, you need to answer the
InstallAnywhere
(IA) dialogs.
-
If the IA dialogs screens do not appear, you may have a Java configuration
problem. Exit out of the installer (by typing control C) and define
a debug environment variable by typing the following:
export LAX_DEBUG=true
Remember: this is case sensitive. Re-run the sv_unix_install.bin
executable and examine the debug output for clues as to what may be going
wrong with the installation.
-
Clicking next will take you through the install wizard screens.
-
The installer will ask you where it should install the application (StarView).
You may install StarView anywhere you wish as long as there is at least
1 Megabyte of disk space there.
-
Along the way it will ask you for the name of the Java Virtual Machine
to be used to run StarView by listing all the Java Virtual Machines
(JVM's) it could find (Please select a Java VM for your application).
Make sure the one you select is the one you verified was version 1.2.2
(and is not 1.2.2_06 for Solaris as this version was released with several
bugs that break StarView) or
later. To find out what version of java you have, from another command line
type java -version. If you do not see any Java VM's listed in the selection box,
click the Choose Another button and enter the JVM to run StarView.
If you are having trouble with this portion of the installation, you can
force the installer to use a certain JVM by typing on the command line:
sv_unix_install.sh LAX_VM /usr/local/bin/java (replace this path
with the full path to the JVM on your machine)
-
Note: The InstallAnywhere package that we use to install
the program attempts to create a link to StarView in your home directory
so you can run it from there. This link does not work,
as
the launcher assumes you execute the program from the directory in which
StarView is installed. We are working on this problem. For now, please
start StarView by typing the full path to the directory where you installed
StarView. For example, if you installed it on /data/mymachine/me/StarView
you need to type /data/mymachine/me/StarView/StarView to start the program.
-
After the install program is finished running, you may delete the sv_unix_install.bin
file as it is no longer needed.
