JMF install on Linux: Cannot load AWT toolkit: gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.

[Robert Mark Bram]

Howdy All!

I tried installing jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin on my RedHat 9 machine. A
screen dump of the output is below but the important failure is this:
Exception in thread "main" java.awt.AWTError: Cannot load AWT toolkit:
gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkToolkit

I understand from my google search so far that the gtk packages are not
complete.. my question is how do I tell JMF not to use "gcj" and use
"java" or "javac" instead?

Thanks for any advice!

Rob

Howdy All!

I tried installing jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin on my RedHat 9 machine. ....
Thanks for any advice!

Best advice on the JMF can be obtained through the jmf-interest list..

My work-around: uninstall gcc-java and jdkgcj rpm's. I might even
reinstall them some time...
