We have one machine here running Solaris 7 SPARC, Java 1.3, Java 3D
1.1.2. For Solaris, the important things you need to do are:
- make sure you install all the patches that are required
- make sure you have the latest version of OpenGL
- make sure you are not running Java 3D 1.1.3 or 1.2 - these do not work
with
VisAD. You can get the 1.1.2 version from the VisAD homepage, or try
1.2.1 beta2. The FCS of 1.2.1 should be out soon.
I think James' notes indicate the above.
