Oops, sorry! Here are two things to try:
1) Run this command:
java -\?
and check the resulting help message to make sure
that -cp is an accepted alias for the -classpath option.
If it's not listed, you can try editing the 'install_visad'
script and changing the line near the bottom of the script
from:
if [ -f $DISTDIR/visad.jar ]; then
CPARG="-cp $DISTDIR/visad.jar"
fi
to:
if [ -f $DISTDIR/visad.jar ]; then
CPARG="-classpath $DISTDIR/visad.jar"
fi
If that change works, let me know and I'll make the
appropriate fix in the distributed copy of 'install_visad'.
2) If (1) doesn't work, run the following commands:
script
java -version
java -\?
sh -xv ./install_visad
^D
If the ^D doesn't work, you may need to type 'exit' to
get out of the 'script' session.
This will produce a verbose 'typescript' file recording
all terminal input/output while 'install_visad' is running.
Mail that 'typescript' to me (dglo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and I'll
see if I can figure out what's going wrong.
