I'm trying to install this - http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/wiki/How%20to%20install%20Necessitas%20S... but it keeps telling me that I need a java compiler.
I've installed java-1.6.0-openjdk but I'm still getting the same message from Necessitas.
I've tried issuing the urpmi command to install openjdk and it tells me :- No package named openjdk The following packages contain openjdk: java-1.6.0-openjdk, java-1.6.0-openjdk-demo, java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel, java-1.6.0-openjdk-javadoc, ...
My system is Mandriva 2011.0 64bit.
Any ideas how I can overcome the error message please?
Well, you'd read that you need an sdk, not just a jre...
Then you'd read: http://openjdk.java.net/install/
In particular, this bit
""" Fedora, Oracle Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, etc.
On the command line, type: $ su -c "yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk" The java-1.6.0-openjdk package contains just the Java Runtime Environment. If you want to develop Java programs then install the java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel package. """
Then you'd do: yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel
When that's installed (I suggest making and drinking a cuppa during that process...) then Bob's your Mum's special friend.
