[Jalview-discuss] problem with linux installation

Hello Andreas.

I think you've missed an initial '/' in the java.ext.dirs= parameter - 
try this:

java -Djava.ext.dirs=/usr/local/jalview/lib -cp /usr/local/jalview/jalview.jar jalview.bin.Jalview


------------------
Java version: 1.5.0_13
amd64 Linux 2.6.22.12-0.1-default
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Layout
         at jalview.bin.Jalview.main(Jalview.java:94)


The error is because Java can't find one of the libraries in the jalview/lib directory.

Good luck!
Jim.
