HELP!!! LINUX: error: no java virtual machine found

843798Mar 25 2002 — edited Mar 26 2002

I'm running Mandrake 8.2, and I just installed the jre 1.4 rpm.
Now I want to run the Limewire Installer - bin, but the shell only tells me:

*No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.*

I don't know how to set any path environment variables, I'm just a dumb ordinary Linux desktop user... The install-faq also didn't say anything about that...

By the way, the system must recognize the jre, because java does work in konqueror (when directly pointed to the java executable) and in Mozilla without any fuss.

Please help!!
