jre installation

[roberto-3]

hello,
i try to install geogebra using its ".bin.sh" script and i get the
following message:


Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable.  You must install a VM prior to
running this program.

but i have already installed the package "sun-java6-jre" and its
dependencies; so i cannot fix the problem by now;

thank you for any suggestions

maybe an explicit entry in your PATH to get it pointed directly at the
jvm would help. Also, you could look at the script and see how it's
detecting the java environment and then either tweak the script or
tweak the environment.

i'd better tweak the environment:
can you (or anyone) past the the name of the variable to be defined in
the environment to enable the of the (already installed) jvm ?

moreover, i use currently other softwares which relies upon jvm and
they run smoothly !

i cannot figure out the problem
thank you again

do something like:

@PATH=/home/u s e r/jXre1.y.z_0&&/bin:$PATH ./geogebra

that should do the trick.
