Ashok,
If you look at the last 5 or so lines of the error, it tips you off to what is going on. The installer is trying to run itself with GCJ instead of Sun’s JDK. You can force the installer to use a particular Java VM by the LAX_VM environment variable, more specifically something like this:

export LAX_VM=/path/to/java/executable
./<name of installer>

If this doesn’t work, see this link (http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=search&mode=results) for search results relating to the LAX_VM flag (as we have had a handful of RedHat and Suse users run into this same problem before). It stems from the fact that the InstallSheild installer finds ALL vm’s on the system, then orders them and picks the top one to run with. Unfortunately it usually sorts GCJ to the top of the list instead of a Sun, IBM or Blackdown VM.

I read all postings regarding the issues and i renames gjc java to pava so that it does not load the wrong jvm . now I am getting this error
Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX

can you please advise

Ashok,
We are releasing 3.7 GA tonight which will include a manual install with instructions and won’t rely on the InstallSheild installer. I am happy to keep helping you troubleshoot the installer problems, but it might be faster for you just to wait for the manual install, download it, and install it without using the installer.

Does this sound alright to you? If you wish to use the installer instead, I will keep digging and see what I can find.

[ashok pappu]

I will just hang on till tonight 😀

I closed this now that 3.7 GA is out, please open a new thread if you run into any troubles.
