hello! naa lang ko i share..
In case youre running ubuntu and wanted to run NetBeans 5.5 on it. You might have some problems creating new projects if you will install it using sudo. I did. Hehehe. Tried searching the net for some fixes or work arounds, then finally I found somewhere that youve got to have write permissions on the netbeans install directory. One way to solve this is to install netbeans inside your home directory, just make an opt (or whatever you want to call it) directory there and specify it as the install directory for your netbeans installation.. that's what I always used to do prior to egdy, and it has always worked for me, however, you need to go to the bin directory of your netbeans installation everytime you want to run it as it wouldnt create a menu entry (you can always add it to the menu though, use alacarte.. I think it would make a shortcut in your desktop though..not sure, kalimot na ko). When I tried installing edgy just lately, I tried something different.. I run the installer using sudo and installed it in the /opt directory. Sure, it did install, it even put a netbeans entry in the menu, however, when I tried to create a new project (as a normal user), nothing happens.. it failed to create one. So, what you should do is grant write permissions to everything(not sure about this, but this is what I did anyway =D) that is inside the netbeans directory. Just open a terminal and type this
sudo chmod +w -R /opt/netbeans5.5/
There, you should be good to go.. :mrgreen:
