Title: RDcalc
Post by: highfell on May 24, 2004, 11:42:01 am
I am trying to run RDcalc but the app is failing to run.

I think it may be for the Cxxx Zauri only but I can\'t seem to find confirmation of this anywhere.

I have tried to run from the Konsole and get \'Permission denied error\'.


Any thoughts ?

You must find the binairie of your application, and make in a console
chmod 777 your_application

Thanks, I have done that but now I get this. RDcalc is there as indicated by \'ls\' and also the file manager indicates that the Chmod has \'worked\'?


Any further thoughts

You are missing \"evm\" - its part of the Java jeode package - looks like your app needs java

Which would explain why it loaded itself into the Jeode tab in the first place ! Thank you.

I have loaded Jeode but it doesn\'t load still.

Using Konsole, I get this message (see screenshot) ????

Try \'rdcalc zaurus\' , you should get to some german site. If you have problems then I can send it to you, if you would prefer. Let me know.

There is also a RDcalc version for the pocket PC

ok !
The rom sharp have a bug...
go in console and:

su
cd /usr/lib
for f in /home/QtPalmtop/lib/*;do ln -s $f;

But I feel that this calculator is not a good application...
Java is slow, and I don\'t like buy java soft...

I obviously have a \'buggier\' version than yours. I have done what you suggested - could you advise what that does please BTW

It appears to start to run with the progress bar in Insignia JeodeRuntime but I still get an error as attached.

Any more thoughts

The problem with the sharp rom (and cako rom), is that librairies must be in /usr/lib.
When you install jeode, or RDcalc, the librairies are copied in /home/QtPalmtop/lib.
That\'s why you must make symlinks between /home/QtPalmtop/lib and /usr/lib !
When I tried RDcalc, I had the same problem !
But, you must make a new binairie of RDcalc:
in /home/QtPalmtop/bin modify RDcalc like this:

evm -XappName=RDcalc -Xprogress -cp /home/QtPalmtop/java/RDcalc.jar RDcalc

OK I did that but here is what happened taken from the screen :

[root@zaurus /home/zaurus]# cd /home/QtPalmtop/bin
[root@zaurus /home/QtPalmtop/bin]# evm -XappName=RDcalc -Xprogress -cp /home/QtPalmtop/java/RDcalc.jar RDcalc

security properties not found. using defaults.
Exception in thread \"main\", java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/awt/Frame
        at RDcalc.main (bytecode 0)
[root@zaurus /home/QtPalmtop/bin]#

Its still not working. I appreciate your patience . What else should I do?

Should I uninstall RDCalc & Jeode and start again. If so does it make a difference as to which I install first?

I think your symlink in /usr/lib are wrong... awt is a library from jeod...
Could you try to reinstall Jeod and RDcalc \"by hand\"...
decompress in a folder with tar -zxvf file.ipk and  tar -zxvf data.tar.gz and copy all files in correct folder... !

I wish I could help you. I gave up on supporting the RDcalc program for the Zaurus do to the difficulty I was having with the Java language (C like but not enough to my liking, plus I couldn\'t get the QT environment up and running) and due to customers having problems with running the program with the latest Zaurus ROM version. The program ran OK under Jeode on the SL-5500, but I am not sure what ROM version is on this PDA I tested the program on since the battery is dead and I can\'t find the charger. I currently am working on updates for the Pocket PC version only. I prefer the VC++ development environment of the Pocket PC and sadly left the Zaurus behind mainly due to incompatibilities beteen ROM versions and the difficulty of converting the C program to Java.

I did actually get RDCalc to install with help. The problem may only have been a lack of memory. Once running it works OK. Nice programme.

The only issue for me is that I was looking for a programmable calculator to relive the days when I had a Commodore PR100 with 72 programmable steps ! I saw RDcalc info relating to a Pocket PC which has this functionality but the Zaurus version doesn\'t.

I was going to email you to see if you were updating it , but clearly you aren\'t.

Thanks anyway.
