MarvinBeans - "java not found"

Hello,


I installed Marvin Beans 4.0.6 under Ubuntu Linux. Trying to run msketch the error "no java found" ocurred.





Searching for the problem I found the file /MarvinBeans/.install4j/inst_jre.cfg with the path /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun but on my system java is installed in /usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/lib/i386/. I manually changed the path but nothing changed. - Can anybody help me?





Thanx, DrWaro

Gives the bin subdirectory of your java home in the system PATH variable.


If you use bash shell, you can do it by the following way:

Code:

export PATH=<JAVA_HOME>/bin:$PATH

where <JAVA_HOME> is the home directory of your Java.


After then, test if the java command runs from command line.

Code:

java -version

If yes, Marvin scripts will also work.

By the way, the MarvinBeans/.install4j/inst_jre.cfg file is not releavan at Linux.


Because Unix shell scripts for Marvin (bin/msketch, bin/mview, etc.) uses the default Java that is available in the PATH.


inst_jre.cfg is important at bundled Java to force Marvin to use this private Java instead of the default one. (Only the Windows version of Marvin Beans installer is distributed with bundled Java.)

Setting the correct path to Java made msketch running.





Thank you very much for the immediate help!
