Crashing on startup (MAC)

[loftar]

I believe loftar has stated the exact same thing. The bug is in Apple's implementation of the Java VM, and a workaround in code may not even be possible.

What I've stated is that Apple probably changed their internal implementation of something which JOGL links to, but it may very well be (though it's not guaranteed to be, either, mind you) that the error only happens because I'm using too old a version of JOGL which hasn't kept up with Apple's changes. It does, however, mean that if you downgrade to an older Apple JVM (if you can find one), the problem should disappear since that older JVM would still be using the older, JOGL-compatible implementation of whatever it is.

I'm in the process of porting the client to JOGL2, however.

Hi there,

I got the same issue as everybody here in the thread. Tried all solutions - no success. Yesterday then I found Java 6 SE on the apple side (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=de_DE)

I deleted the old version, installed it and tried to run Salem. It says that Java is not installed.

Checking version:

Code: Select all

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_37"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_37-b06-434-11M3909)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.12-b01-434, mixed mode)

Executing:

Code: Select all

$ $ javaws -verbose salem.jnlp
No Java runtime present, requesting install.
Unable to locate a Java Runtime to invoke.

I SOLVED IT!

Step 1: Uninstall your Java 7 stuff
Step 2: Install this http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?viewlocale=de_DE
Step 3: Run your Salem with the 1.6 version with direct path (from command line):
/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javaws /path/to/game/salem.jnlp

It works perfect!!

Hi!

I've uninstall java 7, and installed Java 6...

When I do your exact command line he tells me that its impossible to open the aplication, "no such file or directory"

So, I realized that's because I need to change the "/path/to/game/" to the exact path where I have the salem.jnlp
In my case, and maybe in the majority of the people here... I have the Salem.jnlp in the downloads folder...

so, I've changed the /path/to/game/ to /users/bruno/downloads/salem.jnlp

(bruno is my user name in my mac)

so the command are exactly the above:

System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javaws /users/bruno/downloads/salem.jnlp

what is wrong with my command line to not work?

can you help, please?

Cheers!!
