Trouble running on OS X 10.4.11 Tiger

I installed this in Tiger, using SoyLatte and I run these commands in Terminal to start the app and get the indicated exception:

To enable SoyLatte as my JVM

export PATH=/usr/local/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/bin:$PATH

I check Java version

java -version

and get 1.6.0_03-p3

I run Free Rapid with this

java -jar frd.jar

and see


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.

I realized I hadn't installed X11 with my OS and I did so from the original Tiger disk and I still get the same error.

What is wrong?

"java.lang.InternalError" means a critical internal error in the Java VM.

Also, please note that OpenJDK is buggy and won't work properly with FRD.

1.6.0_03-p3 is 4 years old

The rest of that line said "Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable.", so I initially thought it was an X11 problem. But the behavior did not change after I installed X11.

Well, then, what do you suggest? The downloads page still recommends SoyLatte this for Mac OS X Tiger. Do I need to install the other Java 6, the beta described at metaphoriclabs?

MacOS:
JRE for MacOS 10.5 (Leopard),
MacOS 10.4 (Tiger) SoyLatte - Java 6 Port or
here

All, in all, what is the current recommendation on how to install and run on OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger)?

ntoskrnl, Vity, or anyone else, any further advice on how to run in Tiger?

Thanks in advance

we don't know anything about MacOS...
