Re: Java Problems

John,

The Control Center tool will be running as root (under PAM, of course) so your 
'root' user must have the JAVA_HOME variable set (and to its PATH as well). 
Some JVMs set that when they are installed (IBM's used to) other don't (like Sun's).

We have been talking of ways to make our tools smarter in locating Java JVMs by 
looking at usual places for the most common JVM providers, but there are issues 
like what to do if there are more than one etc.  Eventually Java will be added 
to the 'alternatives' configuration and all these problems will go away.

In the meanwhile, set your root users JAVA_HOME and PATH and you should be able 
to start rhdb-cc.

Regards,
Fernando
