I created IA (2008) Installer for Linux (RedHAT Enterprise) and I am trying to run the install.bin file on Linux machine. But I am getting following error
"No java Virtual Machine could be found from your PATH environment variable. you must Install a VM prior to running this program
Note: My Linux machine is already Installed with JRE 1.4.2
Please let me know the answer if any one have the idea on this.
1) Either your installed JVM is not in the system's PATH
or
2) The installed JVM is in the system's PATH, but you have defined a minimum Java version needed by your installer to run and this version is higher than 1.4.2
Before launching the installer issue this command
export LAX_DEBUG=true
then launch your installer like this:
sh -x install.bin
and you should get a maximum of output that'll show you better what exactly is the system's PATH, what the installer has found etc.
I don't want to require my users to have java in their path. We require root access to install, and often the root user has a limited path which may not include optional stuff like java. So I said to bundle the VM, but even though it prints info about extracting the VM, it still can't find the thing it just unpacked! I set LAX_DEBUG to get it to print lots of info, including where it's looking, and indeed it's not looking anywhere except $PATH. Now, there's a sad looking message, "checking: "" against "1.4+": failed (wrong version)", which is strange, because the packed VM is 1.5.0_11, which I downloaded from the site.
Any ideas? For now we're in development, and I can require the user to have java in their path, but I must solve this in a couple months when our final ship is.
