I was getting that error too, you just have to update your repository list (/etc/apt/sources.list) as stated above and add an up-to-date url for Java. I use ubuntu so I'm not sure what url you need to add for debian, but I found valid url's to add after a few mins searching on google.

This one worked for me on Ubuntu!
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-security main multiverse

I know this is not what you want but it might point you in the right direction.

Good luck..

I tried several different OS's to try and install CSP but kept getting a Java error..

Finally someone gave me guidance to the following tutorial on a PC website..

This installs Java on the linux pc and CSP will work grand after it!

Enjoy!

The Sun Java JDK is available in the Debian Lenny non-free repository, therefore you must modify /etc/apt/sources.list…

Code

vi /etc/apt/sources.list

and add non-free to the Debian Lenny repositories:

Code

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main non-freedeb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ lenny main non-free







deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-freedeb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main non-free

Run

Code

apt-get update

Install the Java JDK as follows:

Code

apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

I've used ubuntu and used exact the same as above with no success

Try this way

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sun-java-community-team/sun-java6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sun-java6*

I've installed sun java but after start:

./cardproxy.sh start

You have provided no information on your setup so I can only point you in the right direction, java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: means that your classpath is not set correctly so maybe try to find your answer with google now that you know what the error relates to

well done!
Compile problem,
Installed a fresh ubuntu and redownload I think thats because I've installed alternative java and some path mismatched in JDK..
Thanks again!

This solved my installation problem:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

also this method will choose exact java if alternative packages installed before(use sun-java-6)
sudo update-alternatives --config java

Guys I was trying for a good few days trying to get java installed so as i could get CSP running. I followed many tuts on a few different forums but kept getting many different notifications as to why it wouldnt go on. I eventually got it on by using Webmin to do the install. From the main screen select the System drop down arrow in the left hand pane. Then select software packages.
Highlight the "Package from APT " menu and click on the search APT tab. A new window will open in the browser saying "Find packages matching" Type in Sun Java in the search bar and click the Find packages matching tab. It will find 5 or 6 packages. Select the sun-java6-jdk. You will be reurned to the main window and sun-java6-jdk will now be sisplayed in the Package from APT window. Click on install and 2 mins later you will be ready to install your CSP.

Install Sun Java under Debian Squeeze

Debian Squeeze for comes with OpenJDK Java preinstalled and ready to run. If you, for whatever reason, need to install Sun Java, the Sources list has to be modified:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list, add “non-free”:

deb http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian squeeze main non-free

Update

Quote

apt-get update

Check for available Sun Java Packages:

Quote

apt-cache search sun-java6

The result may look something like this:

02.
