Hey folks,

I once again ended up trying to make henplus work on my laptop but I got the same problem again. After installation (through dist. Ubunutu 11.04) I provided the JDBC driver in home config and types henplus in a shell. I get the wellcome prompt

using GNU readline (Brian Fox, Chet Ramey), Java wrapper by Bernhard Bablok

 -P,--password <password>   Password to connect with
 -U,--username <username>   Username to connect with

I tried to provide URL, user and password using parameters. They are recognised correctly but after all I directly be back in the shell. No prompt Hen*Plus like in the docs ever shown up. As far as I know this is a more or less known issue running a 64bit system. I run:

Any questions or suggestions ?

Hi Jan,

U are using a version which is not distributed by us. It depends on a not working library (readline). You should use the package from the download section, which includes all needed libraries. wget https://github.com/downloads/neurolabs/henplus/henplus_0.9.8_all.deb sudo dpkg -i henplus_0.9.8_all.deb

Works!

We really tried to get the debian version updated, but it's maintainer hell. The current maintainer is not answering, and bypassing maintainership is costing too much time.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
