Fetch Art 1 2 NOT Compatible with Intel Macs

Well you may have already discovered that Rosetta (a part of Mac OS X) is not working well enough to help Fetch Art work on the new Intel Macs. In an effort to solve the problem initially I used my PowerPC based Mac to create a Universal Binary version of Fetch Art. I gave this out to a few users who were having problems on the Intel based Macs. Unfortunately, it didnt solve the issue.

Right now I cannot say whether it is a problem with Fetch Art, Perl, AppleScript, or Rosetta but I can say Ill need some quality time with an Intel based Mac to debug the problems.

Currently I dont own an Intel Mac, and I wasnt planning on purchasing a new computer for a while. My finances are a bit thin to spend several hundred dollars on an unplanned purchase, so I am taking donations towards the purchase of an Intel Mac mini.

If you are interested in supporting Fetch Art, please visit my donation page, here.

Thank you.

Java Error javac is not recognized as an internal or external command

So you are trying to compile your Java source file and getting "'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command". If this is your first Java program or HelloWorld than I suggest to go through How to compile and run HelloWorld in Java because that explains what do you need before you compile and run any Java program. If you have crossed that level and knows about How to set PATH in Java then there is something wrong while setting PATH in Java. Anyway let's see when does you get this error and from where does 'javac' is not recognized as an internal or external command comes. This is an standard error in Windows command line when you type a command which is not available in System PATH, here javac command which is used to compile Java source file and produces class files are not in PATH. Best way to verify this is executing following command :

# echo %PATH%

If you see your JDK installation folder or JAVA_HOMEin PATH and included bin directory which contains all java binaries including javac and java commands which is used to compile and run Java program. Most likely your PATH may not have JDK/bin in PATH, if that's the case just include bin folder of JDK in your PATH. See how to set PATH for Java in Windows for step by step guide.
