Hi Agustin,
thanks for those pointers. I will try linking to my JRE as you
suggested, just to make sure that everything runs OK.
But for a "proper" solution, I would like to avoid anything
that touches system files, so the installation can be completely
self-contained and won't require root access.
Awesome that you got gvSIG running on PowerPCs, too.
I will have to take a look at that. For now, the Intel version
is giving me enough gray hair ...
Thanks,
Ben
