[koulioumbis]

Team Members hi.
Any suggestion to run BCM BEM on an Ubuntu or other Linux machine?

Thanks

I'd be interested if you get this to work. I haven't had any luck getting BEM to work on Linux, so far.

I got it to work on Ubuntu a few years ago. The BCM monitor tool is only used on Microsoft systems.

Firebird, have you tried it on a Raspberry Pi? Wondering if it might work on Debian Linux.

I've been playing with BEM on my Linux Mint PC today. The programming window comes up, but it halts on a Java error. I tried replacing the jar file causing the problem (eem.jar) with a known good copy from my Win7 PC, but I still get the same error. I have to assume it's my version of Java, which is the latest update. Rolling Java back to an earlier version is quite the ordeal on Linux, so I'm just going to let it go for now.

Update: I realized that I'm also using the latest Java update on my Win7 PC and BEM runs fine. I'm now focusing on the batch file that loads BEM in Linux.

I have tried 3 different versions of Java and I still get the same error when trying to load BEM on my Linux Mint PC. Here's the error I'm getting:

I'm not understanding why Java barfs on BEM in Linux, but the same code loads just fine in Win7. I'm out of my element at this point. Any suggestions would be appreciated

My problem turned out to be my 64-bit version of Linux Mint. After much testing I discovered that Java was looking for a 32-bit interpreter in the /lib folder of Linux which wasn't there. I tried installing 32-bit versions of the library files, but BEM still wouldn't work. I finally threw in the towel and downloaded a 32-bit version of Linux Mint. After a little tweaking BEM now works as it should.

I'll have to give Microsoft credit for having the correct 32-bit DLLs installed on my 64-bit version of Win7 Ultimate as BEM works perfectly with the latest version of Java 64-bit, 1.8.0_231.
