I downloaded JDK118_v1 so that I could run the Oracle 8i installer. The JDK
README seemed clear, so I put the JDK directory in /usr/local, and created
the symbolic link, /usr/local/jre, that the Oracle installer requires. I
set my PATH to /usr/local/jre/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin and tried
running some of the Java demos. They work just fine using either Netscape
or the appletviewer. But whenever I try to invoke jre, I get the error:
Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
Could not create Java VM
I've tried several things that the documentation seemed to suggest, like
"unsetting" CLASSPATH, setting the THREADS_FLAG environment variable to both
"native" and "green," changing the DEFAULT_THREADS_FLAG to both options in
the .java_wrapper and running as different users. I even tried downloading
JRE_116_v5, but got exactly the same error. Oh, and BTW, I'm using the KDE
window manager, not Enlightenment.
Since I get the error any time I try to invoke jre, it's not the Oracle
Installer, so what is the problem? I've spent two days on it now, and I'm
not any closer to a solution!
