Installing Marvin Beans

14.40: Even though I use ChemSketch (or not, since the installation process is messing with me), I prefer to use Marvin Beans (http://www.chemaxon.com/marvin/do-download-marvinbeans.html) to draw molecules. The output is much nicer and not so pixelated. Also, the program is not as bloated as ChemSketch. This will probably take som time too.

14.45: Need to install Java SE Runtime Environment first. Installing sun-java6-jre through aptitude, probably not right. Googling away.

14.52: Whoops, definitely the wrong one. Removing it again.

14.59: This is the one: https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=j2re-1.4.2_18-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer. Following the guide: http://www.jibble.org/settingupjava.php.

15.01: Moving the .bin file to /opt/java_runtime, following these instructions: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/jre/install-linux.html. Making symbolic link to /usr/bin/.

15.07: "which java" isn't returning anything. And now I'm hungry. Time to take a break.
