Lost JRE

Post by leon_heller »

I haven't used the XDE for a while, and when I ran it tonight I got an error message saying the JRE couldn't be found. I removed the application, downloaded it and reinstalled it with the same result. I couldn't find the JRE on my system, although I'm quite sure I downloaded the complete Java SDK some time ago. Anyway, I downloaded it again, copied the JRE6 directory into the appropriate XMOS directory, renamed it to JRE, and the XDE was working again.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Did you install the 32-bit Java Engine, it doesn't work with the 64-bit. 64-bit OS is OK.

I had some problem when I installed on my fathers computer, but that was due to the UAC in Windows and user rights.
Probably not the most confused programmer anymore on the XCORE forum.

I'm running Win7 x64, so I installed the 64-bit version. I did a couple of compilations and it seems to be working OK.

I'm running the 10.4.2 tools on an Oracle(Sun) 64-bit JRE on 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10 without any problems.
You do need to install the 32-bit support libraries on Ubuntu 64 as XMOS tools (not the JVM) need these.
