Description tommetje 2005-05-12 19:57:36 UTC

My system:

SuSE 9.3 Pro on an AMD64 in 64 bit mode
Java 2 SDK: 1.4.2_06 on SuSE DVD (For enterprise I'm somewhat conservative!!)

1. After installation the following bash script files ar not properly set for 
execution:
/install/platform5/lib/nbexec
/install/bin/netbeans

Solution: activated execute flag on both files! "/install/" must be 
substituted by the specified install directory. I have chosen 
for "/opt/netbeans-4.1".

2. I installed netbeans 4.1 under root, but the default install directory 
reads:

"/netbeans-4.1"

It should read: "/opt/netbeans-4.1/"

It is known issue. It was alerady fixed in main trunk for NB 4.2. As workaround
you can either use zip distribution or use 32bit JDK to run installer. Use
-is:javahome <path to JDK> command line option and point to 32bit JDK.

Comment 2 mslama 2005-05-13 08:39:19 UTC

I see you use JDK 1.4.2_X which is only 32bit. If this does not work then use
zip distribution. I tested with 32bit JDK 5.0_02 on RedHat EL 64bit and
installer worked fine.
