I downloaded the linux binary and tried to follow the installation instructions but it is not working.

JDK 1.6.0 is installed at /usr/java/jdk1.6.0

[root_at_poseidon chris]# export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/
[root_at_poseidon chris]# $JAVA_HOME/bin/java glassfish
Warning: -jar not understood. Ignoring.
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: .tmp.installer46812jar
   at gnu.gcj.runtime.FirstThread.run() (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.5.0.0)

Yes, Java 1.4.2 is installed on the system and is the default (that's what the oracle installation required), but that's not what I am pointing to.

I tried just extracting from the jar file using jar, and a single class glassfish.class was created.

Trying to run that still yielded the same error

[root_at_poseidon chris]# $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -Xmx256m glassfish

This seems to be referencing the default install of java (1.4.2) internally. I don't want to touch this, because of the oracle configuration.

How do I get this installation to work?

Thanks

Chris
