No java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment vatiable. You must install a VM prior to running this program.

Did that. I now have j2re1.3.1 and j2re1.4.1 installed in /usr/local. Set path as follows:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin

No go!

Tried same w/j2re1.3.1 and again....no go!

Opened kate as su from shell and added the following line at the end of /etc/profile:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin

Guess what? No go again. Tried w/1.3.1, 1.4, 1.3, etc and I still get the same message, namely:

No java virtual machine could be found...

What am I missing here?

TIA

Try running "which java" or "java -version" at a prompt to make sure you're not running Kaffe or Blackdown from /usr/bin/java

OK, I am lost! Which java shows no java installed. whereis finds j2re1.3.1 but not j2re 1.4.1. I have a path problem. Tried to force install with eye towards later linking j2re and that did not work. This is really starting to make me feel dumb!!

you have to export the PATH variable after you change it

1.) ~# java -version
bash: java: command not found

2.) ~# which java
(nothing happens I get a blank ~# again)

3.) click on file /usr/bin/java and get an error:

Unable to run the command specified. The file or directory file:/usr/local/j2re1.4.1/bin/.java_wrapper does not exist.

It appears java has dissappeared, should I re-install.
I'm using the Blackburn version of j2re-1.4.1

Cheers!!
