Installation Java Errors

[lindengunny]

Attempting to install BI 1.6.0.348 on linux Redhat 4.0. Have installed JRE 1.5.0_07. Error I see when running startdesigner_linux.sh is:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: while resolving class: org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display
at java.lang.WMClassLoader.resolveClass(java.lang.Class)(/usr/lig/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at java.lang.Class.initializeClass() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at java.lang.Class.forName(java.lang.String, boolean, java.lang.ClassLoader) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.5.0.0)

Not sure where to proceed from here. Any help is appreciated.

that error tells us that you aren't using JAVA you're using GJC, check your paths and libs

[lindengunny]

Changed the path setting to PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_17:/bin and still get the same error. Don't understand what needs to be done to get around the GCJ error.
Is there documentation somewhere on what the environment settings need to be for installation of BI?

[bugg_tb]

its not path its JAVA_HOME

[lindengunny]

Added JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_17/bin to the environment. Same errors popped up. Using java version of 1.4.2. Does this need to be upgraded also? Found nothing in the documentation on what java version to use - only JRE.

JAVA_HOME should not point to bin. Instead do JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_17

[lindengunny]

Thanks. Tried that also to no avail. Here are the PATH and JAVA_HOME settings:

PATH=/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/java:/usr/X11R6/bin
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_17

Hello !


It's both JAVA_HOME and PATH env variables.
JAVA_HOME says where executables are. PATH where librairies are.

Try to put :
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre_1.5.0_17
export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Then try :
which java

It must show something like : /usr/java/jre_1.5.0_17/jre/bin/java
If not :
Edit your $JAVA variable into jboss/bin/run.sh to force Pentaho to use your jre (/usr/java/jre_1.5.0_17/jre/bin/java). Note : On tomcat you must check for a "catalina.sh"
