Re: jde installation error

I am NOT a debian user, so I really don't know what the problem is.
The following suggestions are just general troubleshooting tips:

1.  I'd get a real root shell with "su -" instead of using sudo.  sudo
does not give you root's environment.  This probably is not your
problem in this case, but it's a good idea in general.

2.  Rather than using the jde from apt, try downloading the tarball
and building it yourself.  Does that give different results?
