I DL'd Breakage from http://www.blackholeprojector.com/ . This needs chuck to
be installed, so I built, and installed it with no problems. Also it needs
java as it's a java app. So I DL'd jdk1.5.0_09 from Sun, and installed it
in /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_09.
I already have Sun's jre installed on another couple of distros, and creating
links has enabled me to load applets on Firefox for sites that use java. I've
done the same on this jdk install, and Firefox will load applets ok, but I've
never used Java apps before.
This is on Fedora Core 2. The insructions for starting Breakage are to double
click on the "Breakage2.jar" file. I do this, but all that happens is that a
load of files are printed out in Konqueror. these are .class, and .gif files,
under various headings.
Obviously I have some problem with Java. Either links or something.
Can anyone offer any help to fix this?
I have GB's of .wav files, and Breakage can use them, so it would be nice to
try it.

Hi.
Try:
java -jar /path/to/Breakage2.jar
If java is installed correctly this should fire up the app.
Doubleclicking only works on Windows as far as I know.

Hi Nigel:
Try this:
/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_09/bin/java -jar /path/to/Breakage.jar
The Sun JDK doesn't install its binaries to anywhere in your PATH.

Hi Dave. That path works ok, but there seems to be a problem between Java, and
Chuck, see below.
[djmons@localhost djmons]$ /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_09/bin/java

[breakage.OscComm] ChucK started, waiting for hello...
It stops at the "waiting for hello..." .
The version of Chuck is 1.2.0.7 , and I ran Make with the linux-alsa option,
then make install put the binary in /usr/bin . I ran the "chuck" command, and
got a return of " [chuck] : no input files", which the install notes said
was correct, but running "./chuck" gives me a "no such file or
directory" ,
which is what the "java.io.IOException" line above seems to be complaining
about.
The 2 versions of Breakage I DL'd are Breakage-21, and Breakage-22b, and if I
try the path to run version 22b, I don't even get the last line of output,
"the waiting for hello one".
Any suggestions?
Nigel.

Hi Nigel:
Make a symlink from /usr/local/bin/chuck (or wherever it's located) to
/home/nigel/Breakage/chuck (or wherever Breakage is located).
The form ./chuck indicates that Breakage (or Java) is looking for the
chuck binary in the current directory (which should be the Breakage
directory).

Hi again Dave. This is fun. The chuck symlinks didn't work in the Breakage
directory, but I created one in the /home/user directory, and now the java
complaints are gone, and running ./chuck on the CLI gives the correct
response.
Now breakage is complaining about a missing file "Channel.ck", which is there
because I'm looking at it. Output below.
[djmons@localhost djmons]$ /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_09/bin/java
-jar /home/djmons/Breakage/Breakage2.jar
[breakage.OscComm] Starting ChucK process...

[breakage.OscComm] ER: no such file or directory
[breakage.OscComm] ER:
[breakage.OscComm] END: 1
[breakage.OscComm] ChucK started, waiting for hello...
Any further thoughts.

Alas, I'm away from the home machine, we'll have to wait until tomorrow
to get it all straight. However, IIRC I took these steps before starting
Breakage:
Install ChucK with default installation path (I assumed it's the
/usr/local tree).
Install Sun JDK 1.5, symlink to /usr/local/java
Install Breakage to /home/dlphilp/Breakage
Link /usr/local/bin/chuck to /home/dlphilp/Breakage/chuck
Enter /home/dlphilp/Breakage and run '/usr/local/java/bin/java -jar
Breakage.jar'
I'll have more details re: versions tomorrow.

Hi Dave. Now that's interesting. I set things up as per your last post, and

shutdown Jack. got a big audible bunch of drum sounds, with a lot of output
on the CLI, and wonder of all wonders, Breakage has opened it's GUI. It's
playing one of the demo's but I can't hear it. Alsamixer settings are ok. I
think I'll make uninstall chuck, and remake it using linux-jack as the option
rather than linux-alsa, although having got some drum sounds just prior to
the GUI opening with chuck setup to use Alsa, perhaps this isn't necessary.
Also, at the moment, when the sequencer is running, it's using close on 100%
CPU, and that's on a 1.3GHZ machine with 1GB RAM.
Anyway I can see what it looks like now, as in your Linux Journal article, and
ion the Breakage site.
Getting somewhere. Graphics, but no sound on a drum sequencer is a bit of a
downer, but moving forward all the same.

Update:
Hi Dave. There's nothing wrong with the sound. I must have been a bit tired
and not thinking straight. I thought it was supposed to start with playing a
demo, which is wasn't. Of course to get some sound out, it does help to load
some samples. Doh!
Now to try and put some sounds together.
Thanks for all your help in getting it running.
Nigel.
