Exception when trying to install JavaFIBS 2001 1009 on Kubuntu 6.10

[Tygger2512]

Hi,

I've just downloaded the Zip file for JavaFIBS2001 and extracted it into my home folder.  I changed to the JavaFIBS2001 directory in a Konsole window and executed the following command:

Code Select Expand


java -classpath JavaFIBS.jar JavaFIBS2001


This is the error message that I got:

Code Select Expand


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: JavaFIBS2001


I have JRE 1.5 installed.  Please could you advise me on what I need to do to fix this problem?

Regards,
Andy Mason

try -jar instead of -classpath

Thanks for the tip Burper.  With a little tweaking I got an icon on the desktop for my wife so she can run it without going to the command line.  Here's what I did:

JavaFIBS 2001 files are located in ~/JavaFIBS2001

In Kate, I created a file in the JavaFIBS2001 directory named javafibs.sh which contained these commands:

Code Select Expand


cd ~/JavaFIBS2001
java -jar JavaFIBS_1009_J15.jar JavaFIBS2001


I made ~/JavaFIBS2001/javafibs.sh executable using chmod +x and then created a link to application on the desktop, which has a command of

Code Select Expand


~/JavaFIBS2001/javafibs.sh


and a work path of

Code Select Expand


~/JavaFIBS2001/


I went into the advanced options and checked the Run in Terminal box, changed the icon to use the one for KBackgammon, and voila, she has access to JavaFIBS 2001 from an icon on her desktop.

Hope this helps anyone else like me who's new to Linux and trying to figure this stuff out.

Thanks one again for your help, Burper.

Regards,
Andy.
