Description
uDig cannot be installed on gnu/linux as a shared application.
If user alice installs uDig under /foo, even if Alice grants permissive settings on the application with
chmod -R a+w /foo
when user Joni attempts to run uDig with
/foo/udig/udig
then uDig launches and the JVM right away reports the error reported by Prof. Keitt in his message to the mailing list:
***************************************************************************
I tried RC9 today and two things I noticed:
1) If I download and unzip everything into /opt/udig as root and then
run uDig as an ordinary user, it dies with JVM error code=13.
Apparently uDig needs write access to its installation directory in
order to work. That makes no sense in a Linux environment where app
directories are generally not touched by users.
*****************************************************************************
Note also that this category of bugs could be altered from 'installer' to 'installation' issues.
--adrian
udig -configuration ~/.udig
These are standard eclipse configuration options. I will change the bug to be
"Add a page for command line options for uDig"
