Ray installation

I followed the instructions on the page http://www.boonex.com/trac/ray/wiki/RayServerInstall to install Ray server 3.5, but when I run it I just get an "Aborted" message:

-bash-3.1# ./ray.sh
Aborted

What's going wrong?

How does one get support for this $400 software?

you need to make sure of your JRE path, also you need to make sure you have the updated JRE. i will be back in a week if you have not gotten it figuered out by then we can take a look at it.

I am sure of my JRE path:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre

The version installed is the latest available for CentOS 5.

I appreciate your assistance but would expect the developer to reply to their mail (they don't).  The software looks good in the demo, but if we can't get support to make it work we will have to go for a refund and find another solution.

This will hopefully save someone some time.

1) How not to do it !

yum install jre

Follow all the other instructions on:

Link 1: http://www.boonex.com/trac/ray/wiki/RayTech
Link 2: http://www.boonex.com/trac/ray/wiki/RayServerInstall

> ./ray.sh
> Aborted !

Now thats a really useful error message and took me a while to work out what the actual problem was. It turns out yum installed jre_1.4.2

RMS-LINUX-v[1].3.1 needs JRE_1.5 +

2) Solution

Follow the instructions but dont use yum to install JRE.

Download JRE from Sun (currently jre1.6.0_05)
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Follow the install guide: http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting

Next go back to the ray installation directory:
> ./ray.sh

and it worked for me.
