Maple8 - Java VM-Problem
 

Hi all

I'm trying to install Maple8 on my Mandrake distro.

I get the following message:
[root@localhost Maple8]# ./installMapleLinuxSU
Error: Unrecognized JVM specific option `-Xmx50331648'.
Error: Unrecognized JVM specific option `-Xms16777216'.

It seems to be some kind of Java VM problem. I installed the j2re1.4.1_03 environment.

Any ideas?

Thanx. D.

Have you tried side-stepping the problem and installing from a console?

Also, are you sure your PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables are set correctly?

Which JVM are you using. Blackdown seems to work much better than the others (Sun, IBM etc).

Hi

I'm using the Sun-environment. Normally it works just fine.

to Hangdog42:

yes i tried installing it with a console (bash).
what would be the correct setting for the "JAVA_HOME environment"?

thanks.

D.

JAVA_HOME, if it's set, should point to the top level java directory.

On mine this is /usr/local/jdk1.4.1. You can set it with
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.1.6

PATH should have several values in it seperated by colons. If you do #echo $PATH you'll see your PATH value. You should have one value /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/bin or similar. If not add it with
# export PATH=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/bin:$PATH

replacing j2sdk1.4.1 with you top level java directory.

Problem Solved. Installed Maple 9. Works fine.. :-)
