Hi Tom, I assumed you installed the standard Debian package that provides the Sun jdk, but if it is in /opt/sun/something this is probably not the case. Any reason why you would need your own Sun Java installation? Otherwise you can install the sun-java6-jdk package, and then you can choose your favourite jvm using the update-java-alternatives command.
Also, you don’t need to set the JAVA_HOME and JAVABINDIR environment variables at all. I don’t know what the /usr/lib/jvm/.*.jinfo files are, but after years of working on Debian-based systems I’ve never felt the need to know :-) Make sure you are running the correct jvm by typing ‘javac -version’ on the terminal. Like Andreas said the jvm doesn’t usually use all the memory that’s available on your system. You can set the maximum amount of memory allocated to the jvm using the -Xmx parameter, but I’ve never had to do that for building FOP. I’d first check that you are running the right jvm, and then we can get back to how to use that switch later on.
