Hi Renate,

GLI 2.74 was compiled with the java 1.4.2.08, so it makes sense that it did not run under your java 1.4.2_05. However, it's strange that you still run into problems after recompiling.

But I had a look around, and lo and behold, the makegli.sh script only seems to only compile a few of the classes, not all of them:

# Compile the GLI
$javacpath -deprecation -d classes/ -sourcepath src/ -classpath classes/:lib/apache.jar:lib/qfslib.jar src/org/greenstone/gatherer/GathererProg.java
$javacpath -deprecation -d classes/ -sourcepath src/ -classpath classes/:lib/apache.jar:lib/qfslib.jar src/org/greenstone/gatherer/GathererApplet.java

# Compile the GEMS
$javacpath -deprecation -d classes/ -sourcepath src/ -classpath classes/:lib/apache.jar:lib/qfslib.jar src/org/greenstone/gatherer/gems/GEMS.java

# Compile the standalone programs needed on the server for remote building
$javacpath -deprecation -d classes/ -sourcepath src/ -classpath classes/ src/org/greenstone/gatherer/remote/Zip*.java
$javacpath -deprecation -d classes/ -sourcepath src/ -classpath classes/ src/org/greenstone/gatherer/remote/Unzip.java

So I devised this command to let the compiler loose on ALL the class files:
( Make sure javac on your path and properly working before running this one. Run it from the gli directory. )

find src -name '*.java' -exec javac -deprecation -d classes -sourcepath src -classpath classes/:lib/apache.jar:lib/qfslib.jar {} ;

Run this and try again. I have tested it and I got some warnings but no errors. If it doesn't fix the problem, write back and we will offer more advice.

Kind Regards,
Oran Fry.

Hi,
I have updated my Greenstone installation on our Linux server with version 2.74.
The message is that it was installed successfully, however, if I want to the GLI it does not start.
I ran clean and recompiled the gli but it does not solve the problem.
See below for the error message:
What should I do?
Thanks
Renate
