Hi.. I need som tips..
Java is not working, even if i Install it like the instructions on java.com says.
Firefox will not load java.
Limewire gives me the following message:

Starting LimeWire...
"""Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
Suitable java version found [java = 1.4.2]

Loading LimeWire:

Something went wrong with LimeWire.
Maybe you're using the wrong version of Java?
(LimeWire is tested against and works best with with Sun's JRE, Java 1.4+)
The version of Java in your PATH is:
java version "1.4.2"
jdkgcj 0.3.1 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj)
gcj (GCC) 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)

Azereus gives me a similiar message..


WHat can be wrong?

make sure path for java is setup properly, you can test this by typinng "java -version" in console without quotations

[xxxxx@localhost]$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)

below is how i have setup path for java in /etc/profile

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_08
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

if path is modified in /etc/profile, to make it effective you need to logout and login (correct me if im wrong)

Check out this post about installing java. It has some pointers to installing the plugins.

Google the Linux way at ' http://www.google.com '

It looks like it is trying to use gcj, not sun Java. GCJ has the executables in /usr/bin (probably). If you have installed Sun Java to /usr/local/java, set your path in ~/.bash_profile like this:
This means that the sun java binaries will be first in your path, and so will be used rather than GCJ.

When you have made the changes to ~/.bash_profile, run the command "source ~/.bash_profile", or logout and login again.

If you want to make the changes Global, add the "export PATH...." line to /etc/profile.

I hope this helps
