I HAVE the same problem

I think you all have Kaffe installed. Check with:

rpm -q kaffe

Become the root user and remove it (unless you really, really want it) with:

rpm -e kaffe

Kaffe is an open source version of java that implements Java 1.1, an older version of Java.

I'll assume you all have a 1.3.1 version of Java from Sun installed and correctly added to your PATH environment variable. :-)

If you really, really want Kaffe installed for some reason, try putting the java bin directory as the first entry in the PATH variable.

I'm new to Linux, can you tell me wher I can manipulate this PATH variable everyone is talking about. I'm having similar problems installing Limewire, except it doesn't detect a JVM at all. I downloaded the appropriate package from sun, installed it and the Limewire install keeps saying to fix my PATH, how do I do this???

You can set it in either /etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile (.bash_profile being in your home directory). /etc/profile is system wide while .bash_profile is specific to you. If you open either of those files in a text editor you'll see a PATH= line with directory locations separated by colons.

I set my PATH in my .bash_profile file. Mine looks like this:

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/bin

Yours will be similar but probably different. Open a terminal and type:

which java

That should give you a full path to your java executable. Copy everything from that up to the bin directory (ie /usr/java/BlahBlah/bin) and add that line of text onto the end of your PATH= line.

Log out, log back in and test your handiwork by opening a terminal and typing:

java -version

You should see the version information for java.

I tried to write exactly what you said in my .bash_profile (had to change the directories a little to fit), anyway I restarted my machine and the path still remains the same. I still can't install limewire because it doesn't know where the JVM is. Are you using Mandrake 8? Cause if you are and what you are doing is working please provide exact details as to where I should insert the PATH command you mentioned earlier. So far I've tried everything and haven't been able to chang my PATH!

Thanks in advance.

vizio

Useing Mandrake 8.1 and i had to do the following...

UNinstalled the kaffe rpm, (as mentioned in the earlier thread)
rpm -q kaffe
rpm -e kaffe

Installed the rpm of java from sun.
sh j2re-1_3_1_01-linux-i386-rpm.bin
rpm -Uvh jre-1.3.1_01.i386.rpm

Added the path to java to my $PATH
export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin:/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin
NOTE that the jre1.3.1XXXXX may differ...
(edit your users .bashrc, or .bash_profile, or system wide configs to make this permenant)
Run the limewire isntaller...
sh LimeWireLinux.bin

Not sure why/how/where Sun messes up their rpm's/JRE so it dont auto add itself to the path. GUess thats a security issue?

You are the first one to explain simply and effectively the PATH problem!!
I hope this will be an example for all those "geeks" who develop but can not turn anyone in using their software.
