I know nothing of ver 1.1.5, but... I've just downloaded V1.0.2 and I had a
similar prob, so my experience may be of some help. Most executables in
java/bin are symbolic links to
java/bin/.java-*somethingIdontRememberAndAsIAmUnderWin95ForTheMomentIcantHaveALook*In
this script, the values for JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH are checked and created
if needed. My problem was: I didn't set these values, I made "links to the
links" in /usr/local/bin and the way the links were resolved was erroneous.
More stupid: in this script, even if the value of JAVA_HOME was set, the
local and erroneous J_HOME variable was used to locate the required program.
Looks like:
if JAVA_HOME is not set
then compute J_HOME
fi
execute J_HOME/program
If J_HOME is not correctly computed, the script won't work even if JAVA_HOME
is set.
Solution: modify the script in this way:
if JAVA_HOME is not set
then compute J_HOME
else J_HOME = JAVA_HOME
fi
execute J_HOME/program
Check it. The only bemol is that the error message was not the same in my
case: the script generated a line like "$program could not be found in
$J_HOME" But who knows?..
