Cannot run java (Linux)

I just downloaded and installed java JDK 1_5_0_05 (rpm file) for my machine (PC with Linus ES 3.0). When I try to run javac on the command line, I get the following error:
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.
What am I missing?
Thanks

(PC with Linus ES 3.0).First, I don't know that Linus would like that there are multiple versions of him. Perhaps you meant something like RedHat Linux Enterprise Server 3.0.
Anyhow, I'm guessing that there was already a Java install on your machine, though probabaly not one from Sun. If you're familiar with RPM's then I would start by doing an "rpm -qa | grep -i java" to see what other Java installs may be on the machine. Multiple versions can reside on a single machine but you need to make sure that your PATH environment variable is set to "your" JVM's bin directory and that your JAVA_HOME is set to the base of your JVM.
Let us know what other issues you have.

I see Barney-15E made suggestions regarding Chrome preferences. There's also a setting on the Mac to deal with this. Regarding the drop-down menus not seeming to scroll through (such as a list of states)--where when you place or click your cursor over the drop-down menu and it only opens to some of the options in a list, I found that you have to change the scroll bar behavior in your computer's (and not the browser's) General Preferences within your System Preferences.
Open System Preferences, and click on "General" inside the top row of "Personal Preferences" (as it is in my system with Mountain Lion, and I think prior operating systems before that).
Once inside General Preferences, select the radio button option for your scroll bar which you'd like to use in the "Show scroll bar:" section ("Automatically based on mouse or trackpad," "When scrolling," or "Always." If you're using a mouse and not a trackpad, you'd probably want to select "Always" as it takes swiping over the drop-down list on the trackpad to enable (make visible) the scroll bar and/or scroll the list.
Either with the installation of Mountain Lion, or the installation of my trackpad (I'm using a desktop iMac and not a Macbook / laptop) I found that the righthand scroll bars seem to automatically disappear. When I moused over or clicked on a drop-down menu (such as the list of states) I'd see only the first few options in the list. In order to access the rest of the states (get the list to scroll) you have to either have the scroll bar setting set to show "Always" or (if you have a trackpad) use the trackpad to swipe/scroll while hovering your cursor over the list's items to get it to scroll the list, and thus then show/reveal the lefthand scroll bar (which can then be accessed with your mouse if you prefer.
This confused me at first when my scroll bars seemed to disappear, but was an easy fix.
Hope that helps with that part of your issue.

Urgent! Cannot run java programme. Pls help!

1st question:
I am using JDK 1.3.1_03 on Win2K Server. When I have compiled the java applications, I try to use
"java <application name>" to run the programme, but an error message "Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object" come up on the screen. Why is it so? It run normally in the past.
I have upgraded Windows2K once using the Win2K Server CD recently, is it the cause of the problem?
How can I solve it? Please help! Thank you!
2nd question:
I have installed JDK1.4 Final version recently. However, after I have uninstalled it, it still appear in the Add/Remove Programme list in the control panel. I have tried to install another version of JDK, see if it would replace the JDK1.4,
but it failed. Why is it so? Now when I go to some websites designed by javascript, the Internet Explorer suddenly closed by itself. How can I solve the problem? Please help! Thank you!

Cannot run java program after archive and install

Hi,
I am new to this forum and appreciate the help and advice given here.
Yesterday, I did an archive and install on my system which install 10.4.3. Afterwards, I installed X11 and did the software updates which brought my system back to 10.4.8. It also installed Java 1.3.1, 1.4.2, and 1.5 (J2SE5).
Prior to the archive and install, I had no problems executing a java program either in the command line in an X11 window or using Eclipse. However, when I try now I get the exception message "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:". I checked my CLASSPATH and it's not the problem. I am able to compile, and execute the javadoc command. If I type java -version I get
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-112)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-64, mixed mode, sharing)
Under Eclipse, I am able to see the Java versions under Preferences - Java - Installed JREs but if I go to the Run -> Run As menu, I see (none applicable).
Thanks for any suggestions to fix this.

Hi,
geez..I don't know what I did, but now, whenever I try to run a program, e.g. java Test where Test is a class file.
I would get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Test
seems like my java.lang lib has disappeared?
I tried reinstall my JDK1.3.1_02, but the problem is still there...I tried to run other class files which worked before..and it gives the same error...
does anyone know how to fix this problem?
thanks!!
Joe

hi,
You would get this problem if the current directory is not in the classpath.. add the following line to ur Autoexec.bat (in case of Windows)
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.
note: therez a dot at the end, this adds the current directory to the classpath environment variable..
hope this helpz

Cannot run Java with Firefox

I have tried anything for 5 hours and nothing works.
New dell laptop with Windows 8.1 64 bits.
Firefox version: 37.0a1 (2014-12-05).
Install Java twice via jxpiinstall.exe and jre-8u25-windows-i586-iftw.exe. 32 bits version.
Java test page https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp reports that 'java is disabled or not installed'.
Java console shows that Java is enabled for browsers.
DOS Command line 'java -version' shows java running.
I have even put the 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_25' in the global PATH variable and created a JAVA_HOME variable with this directory.
I went into regedit and change the rights on all mozilla mozilla.org keys.
Finally, I downloaded Chrome and it works after some configuration.
Regards.
PS: the register process to be able to ask a question is the most impossible (being polite) that I have ever seen.

Finally, I could find a page to download a previous version.
I downloaded Firefox Setup 33.1.1.exe and installed it. It immediately donwloaded the right plugins.
I configured the Java(TM) Platform SE 8 U25 plugin to be always activated and I went to the Java test page https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp and now it works.
I will try with updated version, but it is clear that this Nightly version has a problem with Windows 8.1

Cannot run java application in Win XP

I worte a java application(a Swing app), I test it and run under win NT, it works fine for me.
Then I recompile it in my WinXP using j2sdk1.4.1_02, run it in a command prompt, but it does NOT start up the application, I check the window task manager, a java.exe already startup and it eat up 100% CPU of my XP, but the application never been startup.
My Swing application is not a JApplet but a JFrame.
Does anyone have the similiar problem?
Thx in advance
Henry

Try adjusting your path settings to stop using the MS VM (did you recently use win update?):
My Computer->Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables
System Variables -> "Path"
If it currently starts with:
%SystemRoot%\system32;...
change it to:
.;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%SystemRoot%\system32;...
If you haven't set JAVA_HOME, create a new variable like:
JAVA_HOME = C:\j2sdk1.4.1_02
Note that using the ".;" before path makes the current dir's executables take prevalence over a same-named executable in a subsequent path.
Putting "%JAVA_HOME%\bin" before "%SystemRoot%\system32" makes certain that the current java.exe gets used (not Micro$oft's java.exe)
Try it, hope it helps,
Georg.

Cannot Run Java 1.7 Despite Installing

For a certain application, I need to use the Java Runtime Environment 1.7. I've installed the latest JRE from Oracle's website. After this, the "Java" control panel that appears says I only have Java 1.7.0_25 installed. However, when I use the "java -version" command in Terminal, it claims I'm using Java 1.6.0_51.
How can I disable or uninstall the 1.6 JRE, so Terminal will say I'm using 1.7?
Using the latest version of Mountain Lion.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
The bug that is causing this error message is fixed in 8u20. Please download the 8u20 EA. When 8u20 is released you will be prompted to install the final version.
You can find the link to download and more information on java.com: https://www.java.com/en/download/help/mac_10_10.xml

Java script and the new and not improved firefox don't work. Please let me be able to run Java again.

I use SAP Infoview for work. To modify reports it requires a Java script to run. I had it set up in the previous version of ff to always allow from this specific site and it worked wonderfully. Now, in the new version, despite following all of the instructions from others, I cannot do my work because I cannot run Java script. I can still run it in Safari, but Safari is a last resort for me to use. I prefer Firefox and have all of my links stored there.

Some sites are not fully compatible with Firefox 4's new HTML5 rendering engine. Can you turn that off and test without it? Here are the steps:
(1) Open a new tab, then type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''html5''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''html5.parser.enable''' to toggle it to false (it should turn bold).
Then change back to the SAP tab and reload the page.
Does that make any difference?

WebStart support for Firefox Browser using Java Linux AMD64

I am trying to setup a Firefox browser to use Java WebStart (jnlp).
I am running Java Linux (AMD64)
but I have no <JAVA_HOME/jre/plugins directory and no libjavaplugin_oji.so file with the Java installation.
1) Can I download libjavaplugin_oji.so plugin somewhere?
2) Will it work in Java Linux (AMD64)?
3) Can Java Linux (AMD64) be setup to operate Java WebStart Technology?
If so, How the h--- do I do it?
Frustrated
Newbean

I have the same problem. Downloaded the 64 bit jre and found no libjavaplugin_oji.so in it.
Then downloaded the 32 bit jre and did the soft link and still no work.
Has anyone made the 32 bit jre work on the 64 bit linux?

Loss of keyboard focus in Java appl running under linux

I have a small sample program that replicates my problem. When this program is run a window is created. If you select File->New another instance of the program window is created. Now if you try to go back and bring to front the first window, keyboard focus is not
transferred when run under linux. You can only type in the second window. The expected behavior does happen in Windows.

You can implement the FocusListener interface. When
the first JFrame gains focus, call
text.requestFocusInWindow(). I hope this helps.The call requestFocusInWindow is not helping, perhaps even making it worse.
The problem seems to be that I am in the situation where the call
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().getPermanentFocusOwner()
is returning the expected Component. The problem is that the KeyListener class that is registered with the Component is not being called when a key is being pressed.
The issue is that I have a component that has the keyboard focus, but the KeyListener class
is not responding.
This seems to be a linux only problem which makes it only mysterious.
