Re: Ganymede client hangs

| Jonathan,
|
| I did everything you said below.  Everything now appears to work just
| fine.  I think the problem with the "Edit Schema" pull down was the
| fact they were originally done under Java 1.2.  Once I did a "make clean"
| followed by the rest, I could now go to the exact same schema item and
| do a pull down.  There were no errors this time.

Great.

| There were two things I did have to do in order to rebuild everything.
| The first was add "." to my PATH.  I have been working with the
| Ganymede stuff as root.  For security reasons, I do not have "." in my
| PATH.  The make complained about a lot of things when "." was not there.
| You might want to do "./build" and ". ./config.sh" instead of just the
| "build" and "config.sh" in the Makefile and build scripts.  You could
| also put in the README that "." needs to be in the PATH if the user
| wishes to rebuild everything.

A very good point, I'll see that that's taken care of.  It's tricky
doing UNIX install scripts when there can be so much variation.. iterate,
iterate, iterate.

| The other item was I had to set CLASSPATH in order to pick up the swing
| classes.  Again, you might want to mention that in the README, or have
| it be part of the Makefile.  I did the following to define CLASSPATH:
|
|  # export CLASSPATH=/opt/swing/swingall.jar:.

Hm, now this should have been taken care of by the installClient script.. 
it's supposed to prompt you for the location of swing, and complain if it
can't find the swingall.jar file...  Oh, no, I guess you're saying the
makefile didn't get this, not the install scripts.  I'll look at that as well.

| Once I did that, everything got made.
|
| Thank you for all of your help.  I am now ready to begin playing with
| Ganymede.  I'll let you know of anything else I find.

No, thank you for your feedback.  There's a million little details that
have to be just so for all of this to work, and it's great getting reports
on it.
