Hello folks,
After a long, long time compiling permutations, I went to finish setup of ovirt-engine on my Gentoo testbed. Running engine-setup, I receive an error after answering all prompts:
[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Cannot get JAVA_HOME ([u'\x1b[01m\x1b[31;06m!!! ERROR: The vm could not be found\x1b[0m'])
This machine has icedtea-bin-7.2.5.3, and # echo $JAVA_HOME yields /etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm which is linked to the icedtea-bin VM directory. Any thoughts to get me started?
The jre to use is determined by the script java-home (usually in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin, not sure about gentoo and/or your $PREFIX). IIRC only openjdk 1.7.0 is supported. If you look at this script, you see that if you put in its directory a script called java-home.local it will be called instead, thus letting you override that. Just add there a script outputting the JAVA_HOME you want and retry. Best, -- Didi
