I'm sitting here with twenty midterms to grade for the Intro to Compu-
ter Science class at Brigham Young University. The students have
written their solutions with Java 1.5, many of them using <Scanner>
for input from the terminal. My brother-in-law, to whom I am much in
debt, has installed Linux on my laptop complete with a Java compiler,
but alas, he set me up with version 1.4. So I went to "java.sun.com"
and downloaded "jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin" and ran that file on my
Linux machine. That created an install file that I made executable
and ran, and it created "java" and "javac" binaries. But when I type
in "./java -version" I get the message: "Error occurred during ini-
tialization of VM," and something about no Java object being found.
Does anybody know what I need to do to get a working Java 1.5 on my
machine? Is this error message telling me something I'm missing? Any
information on this would be greatly appreciated.
