Need help with Ice Installation

[anitha]

Hi,

Iam a college student.. i am in the process of learning Ice. I started the Ice installation for Java in Linux environment. I downloaded both IceJ-1.5.1 and Ice-1.5.1 and then added Ice-1.5.1/bin and IceJ-1.5.1/lib/Ice.jar to the classpath. When i was trying to create the sample application from the pdf document, it says slice2java: command not found. where is my mistake?

Welcome to the forums! You need to add Ice-1.5.1/bin to your PATH environment variable, not the CLASSPATH environment variable.

Thanks Ms Benoit,

I downloaded IceJ-1.5.1 and Ice-1.5.1 and added Ice-1.5.1/bin to the PATH variable. What else should i do to run the sample demo/Ice/hello application. what has to be added to the classpath?

i get the following error when i run
\IceJ-1.5.1\demo\Ice\hello\classes>java Server

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Ice/Object

Please help me to run the existing sample compiled application before i create my own application

Thanks again
Anitha

Take a look at the instructions in the IceJ-1.5.1/INSTALL file, you need to add IceJ-15.1/lib/Ice.jar to your CLASSPATH to be able to run the demos.
