Re: gEDA-user: KJWaves - new release

["Dimitri Princen" <dprincen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here it doesn't start, it really looked like an ideal replacement for
gwave, but on my PC (debian testing) it starts with an error message:
"java.io.FileNotFoundException /home/dimitri/KJWaveSPICE.properties"
When I touched that file and subsequently started KJWaves again, this
exception rolled out:

Found file properties:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
   at java.io.File.normalizePath(libgcj.so.81)
   at java.io.File.<init>(libgcj.so.81)
   at spicefe.JFSpiceFE.getProperties(JFSpiceFE.java:2331)
   at spicefe.JFSpiceFE.<init>(JFSpiceFE.java:115)
   at spicefe.JFSpiceFE.main(JFSpiceFE.java:2282)

Could this perhaps have something to do with gjc? I'm not quite at
home using java, I tried installing java 6 from the debian repository
but that didn't seem to make a difference.

Regards,
Dimitri
