Moneydance not starting since last ubuntu update.
When run in a terminal window, I get the following output. Note that the jvm, /opt/moneydance/jre, is the jvm installed with Moneydance. There have been no changes to moneydance with the exception of the data file.
ron@apollo:~$ /opt/moneydance/Moneydance
testing JVM in /opt/moneydance/jre ...
testing JVM in /opt/moneydance/jre ...
testing JVM in /usr ...
No suitable Java Virtual Machine could be found on your system.
The version of the JVM must be at least 1.4.
Please define INSTALL4J_JAVA_HOME to point to a suitable JVM.
You can also try to delete the JVM cache file /home/ron/.install4j
ron@apollo:~$
I followed the instructions to delete the JVM cache file and define INSTALL4j_JAVA_HOME (I set it to /opt/moneydance/jre). No change.
I haven't written shell in over 10 years, but it looks to me as
if the Moneydance script is trying to verify the version number by
executing "java -version". This command, however is returning the
string "Error: no server' JVM
at/opt/moneydance/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so'." rather
than the java version number.
I pointed to a different jvm and everything began to work. I have no idea as to what changed and I really can't tell from the dates.
I am running ubuntu 9.04.

Hi Hops
I suggest installing the latest version of the java run time environment (jre) from sun using synaptic package manager. The package name in the ubuntu repositories is "sun-java6-jre". Then lok inside your Moneydance folder and see if you have an old version of the jre in that folder. If there is a folder called jre in your moneydance folder rename it jre.old.
I am sorry for the trouble this is causing you.
Sincerely
Ben Spencer
