No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable. You must install a VM prior to
running this program.
[fecalmatter@localhost downloads]$


as you can see the jvm is installed...
Your problem is your PATH is incorrect. Where did you find instructions that stated you must add bin.sh at the end? PATH is supposed to point to a directory not a file. Excuse me for missing this thread all this time but I can see how I easily overlooked it (if I "accidentally" did that). I have seen instructions nowhere that justifies adding "bin.sh" at the end of your PATH variable. If I seem a little "brisk", I apologize. It is just that when people devote so much free time and effort to help others, even to the extent of creating howto instructions and then to see that in vain with posts from users whom don't take the time to try out the howtos before posting to these forums. Once again, I can easily see why I or no other guru didn't respond to this message. HTH
