Hi, Do you have the latest java update from Apple? If so, then you can try:1) To run IDV.app with 64-bit Java SE 6 on OSX, you have to update the JavaApplicationStub that comes with IDV. The architecture of this file determines what version of java to use, but the version shipped with IDV only has ppc and i386 architectures (not x86_64).
You can just copy the universal Java stub installed with the operating system.
If IDV was installed in /Applications/IDV_2.7u1, then:cp /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/ JavaApplicationStub /Applications/IDV_2.7u1/IDV.app/Contents/MacOS/
You should then able to double-click IDV.app and it will run in 64-bit.2) For command-line java programs, don't mess with the java symlinks. If you set Java SE 6 64-bit as the preferred java version in the Java Preferences, then you can put:
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home) in your .bashrc to set the correct JAVA_HOME environment variable.3) If you set the preferred java version, you can run idv from the command line in 64-bit mode too. Assuming IDV was installed in / Applications/IDV_2.7u1, then you can try:
java -server -Xmx1024m -Xdock:name=IDV -jar Applications/IDV_2.7u1/ idv.jar
This should run IDV in 64-bit mode regardless of whether you updated the IDV.app binary.
Hope this helps, Martin Otte Duke University Civil and Environmental Engineering On Jul 15, 2009, at 4:07 PM, Christopher Lynnes wrote:
When IDV 2.7u1 first came out (before the recompile), I tried the Java 6 upgrade approach in Mac OS X 10.5.7. This turned out to be more complicated than anticipated, and I still had only a hacked solution. Here is what I did:(1) Installed the recommended update and restarted: no luck (2) Tried aliasing java to the binary java in the Java 6 directory, verified version with java -version and restarted: no luck(3) Found the Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences utility and moved Java SE 6 64-bit to the top of the stack, and restarted: no luck(4) Began hacking runIDV: (a) added java alias from #2 above and ran: no luck (b) discovered that JAVA_HOME was searched first, so I addedJAVA_HOME=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/ HomeSuccess! Sort of......because I still cannot run IDV.app, even after setting JAVA_HOME in my .bash_profile.Did anyone get this to work with Java 6 in Leopard, and if so, what's your secret?--Christopher Lynnes NASA/GSFC, Code 610.2 301-614-5185_______________________________________________ idvusers mailing list idvusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list information, to unsubscribe, visit: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/
