QNX Momentics installation: JVM not found

I’m trying to install the QNX Momentics evaluation version on linux
(Slackware 10.1) without success :frowning: When I run the installer it tries
to unpack the Java Runtime but then it just stops. So I tried to
manually run the installer with the “java -jar” command. I can
configure the installation but during install it exits with the
message “JVM not found”. Could anybody help me a little bit with
this? I’m really new to QNX (first time I try it) and I really have
no clue what’s going wrong.

I managed to get it installed on Slackware 10.1. I had to download JRE
1.4.2 from Sun to start InstallShield, and manually launch the installer
like this:
~/jre1.4.2/bin/java -cp ./qnx_linux_setup.jar run

Then I got the same “JVM not found” errors you got. I solved my problem
by modifying my environment (My PATH and maybe JAVA_HOME) to point to
the JRE I had installed. I think that somewhere along the way it tries
to spawn a new invocation of java or something. I also got hints about
the errors by looking at the output on the console from which I started
the install.

If this doens’t help, let me know and I can maybe to to reinstall it or
something.

I just solved the issue myself and it’s indeed a problem with the JRE
:slight_smile: I use Java 5.0 by default and apparently the installer isn’t
compatible with that version. I just had to temporarily adjust the
path to point to the 1.4 JRE directory. Thanks anyway :wink:
