I'm running "arduino" in the arduino-0011 folder. It's basically a shell script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
CLASSPATH=java/lib/rt.jar:lib:lib/build:lib/pde.jar:lib/core.jar:lib/antlr.jar:lib/oro.jar:lib/registry.jar:lib/mrj.jar:lib/RXTXcomm.jar
export CLASSPATH
# put the directory where this file lives in the front of the path, because
# that directory also contains jikes, which we will need at runtime.
#
PATH=`pwd`/tools:${PATH}
export PATH
# put the directory with the native RXTX libs in the library path
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
java processing.app.Base
Nothing special there. I compared it to the Windoz version, and it seems comparable. So, maybe there is a bug in the Linux variant. I'll have to try to find a different machine to use the IDE and see if it actually matters.
