To all those who are going to try the ICQ Java version, here are some hints I worked out to get it to work: 1) Only JDK 1.0.2 works. I used the FreeBSD port of JDK 1.0.2. Read the README!. Took me a while to realize that I needed the pdksh shell as well. You also need to uncompress the tarball in your favorite location. Mine was /usr/local/java. (I didn't try kaffe) 2) Update your .login/profile/.cshrc to point to the java stuff. Mine from cshrc is: setenv CLASSPATH .:/usr/local/java/classes.zip setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/java/lib/i386 in my .login, I added "/usr/local/java/bin" to my path string. (if there is a better way, someone tell me!) 3) Un-tar the ICQJava where you want it. Mine is /usr/local/ICQJava 4) Modify the ./ICQJava/install file to point to the paths in 1 & 2 above. 5) Run ./install 6) Modify ./ICQ to add "-v" before "-classpath". This shouldn't be necessary, but otherwise, ICQ never displayed a thing. Annoying that you have to watch all the class calls, but you can run daemonized or minimize that window! I've reported this to Mirabilis. It works fine for me now. Hopefully they will upgrade it soon to allow chat. My UIN for ICQ is 425819. Thanks for listening! Patrick On 03-Oct-97 Eric J.
