**Wolfclaw** · 08-15-2005

I can't get azureus to run, even though I've installled Java again and again. It still gives this mesage
Starting Azureus...

Java exec found in PATH. Verifying...
OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE [java = Error]
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com
Java exec found in /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/bin/
OOPS, you don't seem to have a valid JRE [/usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/bin/java = Error]
You need to upgrade to JRE 1.4.x or newer from http://java.sun.com

Anybody knows whats up?

First download jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin(JRE 5.0 Update 4):
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

As root:
sh jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin
mkdir /usr/java
mv jre1.5.0_04/ /usr/java/
chown -R root:root /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/bin/java /usr/bin/java
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/bin/java_vm /usr/bin/java_vm

Edit /etc/bash.bashrc and add

Code:

 
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_04
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH&#58;$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH

Now type ...
java -version
...and it should show:

java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

(at this point Azureus will work)

For Mozilla:
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/

Now everything(also Azureus) should work.

PS: Based on an old Ubuntu howto (they now have apt packages and removed this part in their guide) but still works for Debian (tried it myself).

I am not sure what sites they have but I add to my /etc/apt/sources.list

Code:

deb ftp&#58;//ftp.tux.org/java/debian/ testing non-free

then when you install azureus, it will install java too.

Sure, but you don't mind using unstable either

I only add single backports to my sources.list (as far as I know, they don't support Sun's Java)...
(I'd like to keep this box as stable as possible)

Thanks for the help guys. I wasn't visiting the forums for a while, but while I was searching around, I found out that if I installed the .bin package on Sun's site, it worked. Earlier I was using alien to conert the Java .rpm package.

thanks for the help on the Mozilla integration.

By the way, why should I not install from Sun's site? x|
