evaluate unde Mac OSX 10.11 El Capitan

Hi,

I recently tried to use evaluate on a new machine that came with a vanilla install of Mac OSX and got this error

/Applications/ChemAxon/MarvinBeans/bin/evaluate: line 128: /System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java: No such file or directory

 

This works fine on an older machine that I had updated to El Capitan, Marvin sketch and the calculator plugins work fine.

 

I installed the latest version of Java from here

https://www.java.com/en/download/mac_download.jsp

 

and the last version of Java for Mac OSX from Apple from here

https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572?locale=en_US

 

It looks like the file needed is in 

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java 

not 

/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java

 

Any suggestions?

To answer my own question, I found the path hard coded into one of the shell scripts, I edited this and all works fine now.

Hi,

Yes, the location of the JVM is set during installation and if a system update changes it, it either has to be updated manually or a reinstall of Marvin will fix it too.

Best regards,

I've read lots of stuff and established that current versions of MarvinSketch (15.12.14 and lower) require the JDK 1.6 environment.  And, when I install the Apple legacy JDK 1.6, MarvinSketch works.  I have also established that other pieces of java software that I have, and that I have written, require the most recent java version, JDK 1.8, from Oracle.

What I have not found, from you or from anywhere else, is how to let the two things I require -- namely MarvinSketch and a up-to-date java environment for software development -- to co-exist on my machine.  Having to uninstall one and install the other java version when I want to work on a particular project is not really acceptable.

Two questions to you:

1. some relatively comprehensive instructions about how to get the two systems to co-exist and work without repeated  reinstalls would be very helpful.  The little bit of stuff I found posted is not all that intelligible.

2. some idea about when MarvinSketck might be recompiled and brought up to date with java 1.8?

Thanks.

Tom
