Thanks Jesse & Shawn for your help. I followed Jesse's suggestion
because it seemed easier and because it gave me access to the contrib
and non-free repositories. I think it's useful to add two points
here. First, when modifying /etc/apt/sources.list you must add
contrib and non-free to *both* the lines beginning deb and deb-src.
It took me several tries to figure this out.
Second, when you get to the stage of installing sun-java5-bin, or any
other package requiring a licence, use KPackage rather than apt-get.
When I used apt-get I was unable to accept the licence so the
installation got totally screwed up requiring fixup. But after several
re-boots and a fixup KPackage allowed me to accept the licence and the
install worked fine.
So now I have 3 versions of java:
1 /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
3 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java
But no matter which of these I set as the default the installer
moneydance_linux_x86.sh still fails with the message
"No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system."
"Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM."
The last line above may be the key but I don't know how to do that. I
would greatly appreciate another round of help.
