Hello everybody,

I've installed Eclipse on a RedHat 9.0 system together with the =
j2sdk1.4.0_03 and the j2re1.4.0_03.

When I try to start Eclipse I get the following error message...

A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK)
must be available in order to run Eclipse. No Java virtual machine
was found after searching the following locations:
/usr/local/eclipse/./jre/bin/java
'java' in your current PATH

Even when I try using the -vm option to point eclipse to the j2sdk or =
j2re directory it won't work.
Can anyone help me to get eclipse to work please. (I'm fairly new to =
Linux and Java)

Thanks in advance

Kind Regards
Gert Vangeel

use the -vm to point to j2sdk1.4.0_03/bin, not just j2sdk1.4.0_03

Actually, you want to point it to the executable, not just the bin
directory, e.g. -vm j2sdk1.4.0_03/bin/java.exe

Hi Gert,

Also, set your JAVA_HOME variable to point to the j2sdk1.4.0_03 directory.
For example, under Red Hat add this line to your ~/.bash_profile file:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/j2sdk1.4.0

This will allow you to run Eclipse without the -vm option and may solve
other future problems.
