For ubuntu users getting the…

Starting JUploadr…
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying…
Suitable java version found [java = 1.4.2]
Configuring environment…
GCJ is an incompatible version of java

…error, just run the following command at a command prompt:

sudo update-alternatives –config java

You will see a list of java executables. Just choose Sun’s version.

Edmund,
Your best bet is to remove the java (GCJ) package. Then the jUploadr executable will find the ‘correct’ version.

Alternately, you can set JAVA_HOME to be the path to the installation directory:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0
./jUploadr

I’m running kubuntu 6.10 and can’t get it to work either. I’ve installed the latest version of Java as you suggested to Didier but I still get the same error message. Any thoughts?

I got it to work! Yes, I’m using the sparkling-new jUploadr 1.1.2ver (see directory name). Thanks for the brutal-force suggestion! I’m actually pro-peace, and am against the use of force if at all avoidable. But then again, I’m wrong. Maybe I should switch to Bush’s party? LOL.

The easiest way to fix the problem is to remove the file pointed to by
which java

That will tell you which java executable jUploadr ’sees’ and which one to remove. If you want to be very smart about it, you can remove the package owned by that file. IIRC Ubuntu is debian-based, and debian does some extremely strange things with package management, so the brute force delete-the-file-that-is-causing-the-problem approach might be the best.

Or, you can alternately make sure that the correct version of Java appears first in your path.

P.S. I hope you’re not using 0.8 and are just replying to this thread due to a google search. 1.1.2 is the current version.

Hi! First of all, thank you for the great software!

I get the error referenced by Didier R (Reply #7) and I followed the fix at Reply #9.

I tried uninstalling the java package that came with the ubuntu distro first and installed the official java version from sun; I also tried installing the official java version without uninstalling the ubuntu-native java; in both I still get the error. Please help?

scohen: Thanks! Putting a link in /usr/bin did the trick. That will teach me not to put Firefox in a non-standard location. Thanks again for the help, and thanks for a great program!

Dave:
As long as firefox is in your path, and that it’s named ‘firefox’ it should work. If not, put a link to it in /usr/bin

Gazzer:
There are two repositories in CVS, jUploadr and juploadr. The one with the correct code is juploadr.
