jEdit 4.2pre14 refuses to start on Redhat 9
Submitted by leungkc on Friday, 13 August, 2004 - 14:31
I have just installed jEdit 4.2pre14 via apt-get. Installation went smoothly with no errors.

However, when I attempt to start jEdit through the GNOME menu, nothing happens. When I use the command line to start it, the following message appears and jEdit aborts loading:

[root@Jerusalem bin]# jedit
/usr/bin/jedit: error: failed to set JAVACMD
/usr/bin/jedit: line 135: -Dbsh.jedit=true: command not found
[root@Jerusalem bin]#

I have checked my jedit script and there's no JAVACMD variable. However, I do not know how to set it. Or is there another reason for this problem?

Thanks in advance for replying.

I am having the same problem on fedora core 1. Does anyone have a solution for this?

I had the same problem, and I solved it by installing (urpmi):
java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.06-1jpp


Description: This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and directories for the vendor's JDK rpm.

(My jedit was from JPackage, so that's why I had to do this, I'm assuming. I'm a newbie, and learning as I go.)
