installation problems

[Kenneth G. Bice]

Hello,

I am new to ofbiz and am having some trouble with installation.
I installed the jdk on my machine but it seems like ofbiz is expecting
everything to be in one place and its not there, here is the out from my
install attempt:


$ sudo ./ant run-install run
Unable to locate tools.jar. Expected to find it in
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/lib/tools.jar
Buildfile: build.xml

ofbiz-init:

build:
      [echo] [build] ========== Start Building (Compile) ==========

ofbiz-init:

dir-init:
     [mkdir] Created dir: /etc/ofbiz/runtime/logs/test-results
     [mkdir] Created dir: /etc/ofbiz/runtime/data/derby
     [mkdir] Created dir: /etc/ofbiz/runtime/data/hsql

copy-derby-props:

      [echo] [build] ========== Start Building Framework (Compile)

init:

prepare:
     [mkdir] Created dir: /etc/ofbiz/framework/start/build/classes
     [mkdir] Created dir: /etc/ofbiz/framework/start/build/lib

classes:
   [javac16] Compiling 6 source files to
/etc/ofbiz/framework/start/build/classes

BUILD FAILED
/etc/ofbiz/build.xml:183: The following error occurred while executing
this line:
/etc/ofbiz/framework/build.xml:148: The following error occurred while
executing this line:
/etc/ofbiz/macros.xml:27: The following error occurred while executing
this line:
/etc/ofbiz/framework/start/build.xml:37: Unable to find a javac compiler;
com.sun.tools.javac.Main is not on the classpath.
Perhaps JAVA_HOME does not point to the JDK.
It is currently set to "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre"

Total time: 1 second


anyone who could give me a bit an idea on how to solve this would be
greatly appreciated.

you should try with the sun jdk.

I just had a similar experience. I'm going to guess that you already had the
Open-JDK installed, but then later installed the Sun JDK. If not, install
the Sun JDK.

After you have installed the Sun JDK, you'll need to set the variable
JAVA_HOME. You can do so by finding the location of the Java installation
(usually /usr/lib/jvm/java, but mine was /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.10 [or
something similar]). Then, open up the file */etc/bash.bashrc as root and
append to the end: [by the way, if you have gedit, you can do this by typing
sudo /etc/bash.bashrc in a terminal]
*

JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java/installation (actually put in your path here)
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
export PATH

Save, reboot your computer, and retry the installation. If you're using
Ubuntu and installing thru xterm with the official JDK, expect the
application to take about 16 minutes to compile.
