Can't run reprap in Fedora 64 (Java problem)
July 22, 2010 12:54AM
I followed the install instructions here and when I run reprap, the below is what I get.

[root@computer reprap-mendel-20100719]# reprap

Am I totally screwed trying to run reprap on a 64bit system? Any help would be appreciated

Do you have librxtx installed, and if so where is it installed. You should then update the script that you are running to include an option on the java command to include -Djava.library.path=. So if it is installed in in /usr/lib/jni you would add -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/ to the java command.

You will of course need a 64 bit version of librxtx.

Thanks so far.

I'm now getting a much shorter error message, basically the --man for java.

the reprap script i'm running is this:
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/local/reprap-mendel-20100719
./reprap
which is located in /usr/local/bin per the instructions. I'm not sure where in this script (or if it's this script) in which I should put the -Djava.library.path= argument. rxtx is all in /usr/lib64/rxtx per rpm -ql rxtx, so that becomes the location?

There's no need to edit scripts. Here's an explanation, replace "sudo apt-get" with your distro's package manager command: [reprap.org]

Installing java3d via yum does not work.

[root@Anvil lib]# yum install libjava3d-jni
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package libjava3d-jni available.
Nothing to do

Any alternate methods of installation?

I got the j3d .jar files and put them in /usr/share/java. When I try to run reprap, I still get what looks like java --man. Did I put it in the wrong place, should I not be running a script, or running a different one?

Either learn how the CLASSPATH shell variable works and edit the "reprap" shell script accordingly, or move those libraries next to this shell script, replacing the original ones.

Here's my reprap shell script, which is unaltered afaik.

#!/bin/bash
# reprap-host -- runs RepRap Java host with an appropriate classpath

REPRAP_RAM_SIZE=1024M                # Amount of RAM to allow Java VM to use
REPRAP_DIR=`dirname $0`       # reprap.jar, jni libs and stl file

cd $REPRAP_DIR

# build up classpath
# when we move to OpenJDK/Java-6 these next few can be replaced with wildcard
# *.jar and we will not need swing-layout any more.
CLASSPATH=./reprap.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:./j3dcore.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:./j3d-org-java3d-all.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:./j3dutils.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:./vecmath.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:./RXTXcomm.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:./swing-layout-1.0.3.jar
CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.

# invoke the code
java -cp $CLASSPATH -Xmx$REPRAP_RAM_SIZE -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni/

I put all the J3d .jar files into /usr/local/reprap, and they included the jars referenced in the shell script above. I still get the same java error as before.

What gives? What have I missed?

Looks to me like the -Xmx$REPRAP_RAM_SIZE parameter is not compatible with your version of Java. Try removing it from the command line.

There appears to be an error in the 64 bit Linux install instructions - I was getting precisely the same error, and found that there's a missing subdirectory in the creation of the second symbolic link.

Rather than
ln -sf /usr/lib/librxtxSerial.so .
you might try
ln -sf /usr/lib/jni/librxtxSerial.so .

This did allow the software to start successfully on a sid 64 bit Linux machine

good luck!
