[cobalt-users] JRE and DigiChat help



My RaQ4 comes with JRE 1.2 on it. I need 1.3 to run DigiChat - so 
I've installed the Sun J2 SDK 1.3.1.
I've downloaded the DigiChat stuff and unpacked it, my problem lies 
where I am supposed to export paths and start the server.

The installation instructions say to enter these commands on the 
command line:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jre/bin/
export DIGICHAT=/usr/local/DigiChat/
jre -Duser.dir=$DIGICHAT -cp $DIGICHAT/Server.zip 
digi.digichat.ChatServer noconsole

(those last two lines are actually one line)
Well, the SDK put the jre stuff in /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre, so I 
changed my export PATH line to:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/

Next, the DigiChat folder is at /home/installs/DigiChat, so I changed 
that line to:
export DIGICHAT=/home/installs/DigiChat

A question about this: Should I have the DigiChat folder in the 
/home/sites/home directory somewhere rather than deeper in the 
server? Should it be in the actual /web folder?

My immediate problem that is stopping me right now from seeing if I 
need to move the DigiChat folder or anything is that when I run the 
command:
jre -Duser.dir=$DIGICHAT -cp $DIGICHAT/Server.zip 
digi.digichat.ChatServer noconsole

I get this error:
sh: jre: command not found

I'm so totally stuck.
Help?

I have successfully installed Kaffe on a RaQ4 before but I asked the 
DigiChat people and they said that DigiChat does run fine on RaQ4's, 
and that they recommend Sun's JRE 1.3 or IBM's JRE 1.3 - so I 
installed the Sun package listed at the top of the screen. I could 
NOT find a download for just the JRE1.3 to save my life. I found 
installation instructions, but no freaking download.

Any advice, tips, etc. would be much appreciated...
(sending this at 3:30pm EST on Saturday, let's see how long it takes 
to show up...)

Thanks for your quotes!
I'm now trying to find a way to randomize them automagically so I can 
use them all...
