Infrastructure Software

How do I know which is the correct location of the JVM? What do I add to my PATH environment variable? I'm trying to install Sybase ASE on my Sun Fire v480 SPARC box, but keep getting the below error...

*"A suitable JVM could not be found. Please run the program again using the option -is:javahome <JAVA HOME DIR>"*

So I did the following...


STEP 01) To confirm that Java is installed, I ran the java -version command. I received the following output...

bash-3.00# java -version
java version "1.5.0_17"
Java(TM) Platform, Standard Edition for Business (build 1.5.0_17-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.5.0_17-b04, mixed mode)



STEP 02) Then I tried to locate the location of where Java was installed...

bash-3.00# which java
/usr/bin/java



STEP 03) Then I tried to confirm if it was a symbolic link or not...

bash-3.00# ls -al /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16 Jun 24 01:54 /usr/bin/java -> ../java/bin/java



STEP 04) The symbolic link doesn't seem to match any of the output below. Which is the correct location / path of Java (JVM / JRE)?

bash-3.00# find / -name java -print;
