Linux PATH variable & Java VM

843811Nov 15 2002 — edited Nov 15 2002
Hello,

Someone please help me. I have RedHat 8.0 and I have just installed j2re-1_4_0_02-linux-i586.bin

This is the exact directory structure of the location where it is installed,
copied from the location bar:

/home/mike/java/j2re1.4.0_02/bin

The installation went fine. However I am trying to run the Limewire installer and I get this message:

* No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH environment variable

I have tried editting the .bash_Profile file at least 15 times. This is what
it currently looks like
----------------------------------------------------
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

export PATH=/usr/java/j2re1.4.0_02/bin:$PATH
# export PATH
unset USERNAME
-----------------------------------------------------

I've tried for hours to figure out what I am doing wrong with no luck. Can someone tell me how to cure this?

Thanks a TON!

Mike
