problems with java installing geogebra

[maladict]

Hello everyone. When trying to install geogebra (a free, multiplataform, Math software) I get the following error message concerning java. I am using guadalinex (a debian based distro) instead of kubuntu, but I am asking you because it is not easy to get successful responses from the guadalinex user comunity, which is smaller and not so experienced. I have installed java 6 yet, any ideas?

$ sudo sh GeoGebra_3_2_0_1.bin.sh

Re: problems with java installing geogebra

What is your java telling ?:

Here:

java -version

java version "1.6.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

with the Kubuntu 9.10.


GeoGebra home (> GeoGerbra) is telling for the Linux

After downloading open a shell and, cd to the directory where you downloaded the installer.
At the prompt type:
sh ./GeoGebra_3_2_0_1.bin

I did the installation with the "Other Platforms":

After downloading, type
java -jar GeoGebra_3_2_0_1.jar

The installer told:

The installation of GeoGebra is finished, but some errors occurred during the install. Please see the installation log for details.

The GeoGebra is starting fine with the command:

sh geogebra

Have you tried with the "GeoGebra_3_2_0_1.jar"

Re: problems with java installing geogebra

Right, that was the point. After googling a little around, I tried

update-alternatives --config java

and chose

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java

instead of

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java

.

Once this has been done, the installation goes straightforward.

Thanks!
