Jalmus V1.2 Problem!

Posted by James 1 on Fri, 09/04/2009 - 22:40.

Can anyone help please? I've downloaded the program to my Acer Aspire One (Linux Linpus Lite). It's installed without a hitch but won't start when I click the icon or click "open" in the folder. Any ideas?

In case you haven't gotten it figured out yet your problem may be that:

1- You don't have the correct jdk or jre installed or
2 - The path doesn't point to it from the directory you have Jalmus installed in

Thank you, Stacey. I now

Thank you, Stacey. I now have Jalmus working. I have to open it by going to the jalmus.jar file and either double click or right click and select "open with Java".

Many thanks for your help.

Regards

James
