Frostwire cant find Java

Hitboxx · 06-08-2006, 09:01 PM

Hi Guys

Ive installed java and frostwire but its not able to locate the java plugin i guess.

The Output

Code:

shrikant@shribuntu:~$ frostwire
Starting FrostWire...
Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE. FrostWire works best with Sun JRE available at http://www.java.com
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/lib/  hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com
ls: /usr/java/j*: No such file or directory
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/java/  hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /opt/  hierarchy
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://www.java.com
shrikant@shribuntu:~$

Correct me if im wrong, i can see 2 options namely 'Sun Java 5 Plugin Control Panel and 'Sun Java 5.0 Policy Tool' in System->Preferences menu which means java is properly installed. So how can i make frostwire see this??

HELP
Thanks

I don't know if this is going to help, but you can check:

Code:

update-alternatives --config java

to see which java version is used by default on your system.

You have to install the "sun-java5-jre" package in order for frostwire to work. I think it's in the multiverse repository, but I'm not sure. It worked for me!
