At first I tried to extract the file to the desktop and I got an error saying "tar: Alice2.3/Required/jre/man/ja: Cannot create symlink to `ja_JP.eucJP': File exists"
Could that be the problem?  |
I recently got Alice working on Debian 6.0.7 64 bit. If I remember correctly all the problems involved permissions. I still have two problems but Alice seems to run normally (for Alice) the problems are:
- The splash screen persists until I cancel the opening dialog box.
- Frequently Alice pops up a message window saying that she threw a null pointer exception during startup.
Again, after clearing these Alice seems to behave.
I have included a list of the owner and permission setting for my present Alice installation and an example of the commands I used to set permissions in the gallery. Unfortunately, I did not keep track of all the steps I performed and I am not sure how to submit this to "them" so the build could be fixed but here is what I've got....
