This still brings us back to the point that JDK, whether installed in a
standard or a "non-standard" location needs to work!!! ;) Unfortunately,
I cannot get it to work no matter where I install it. Maybe I am doing
something wrong, but I keep getting this hpi error Ted mentioned in the
beginning of this thread:
[some standard/non-standard location]:# java
There was an error trying to initialize the HPI library.
Please check your installation, HotSpot does not work correctly
when installed in the JDK 1.2 Linux Production Release, or
with any JDK 1.1.x release.
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
This is indeed strange since JDK comes packed from Sun and should just
work in what ever directory you unpack it in. I downloaded again the
package from Sun, unpacked it in numerous locations, and spreaded
symlinks everywhere I could `locate hpi` :)
nothing made it work...
