The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly

[Boon khiang Sim]

Hi , I have downloaded Java SDK 1.4.2_04 from HP site and I have completed the installation & set my environment.

Try both ways in my ENV.
1) JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4/bin;export JAVA_HOME
2) JAVAHOME=/opt/java1.4/jre; export JAVAHOME
3) PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin; export PATH

When I run my program, it show the following:-

$ The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program.

$ which java
/opt/java1.4/bin/java


What can I do to make it work?


Thanks,
Sim

Hi,

I believe you should be setting your JAVA_HOME variable to /opt/java1.4/jre.

try

JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4/jre;export JAVA_HOME

Hi Sim,

Hmm..I backtrack.. Try JAVA_HOME=/opt/java1.4.

Hi Sri,

Thanks, I have managed to get it work by modifying my program script.
