I do not know why you are having these problems in Linux either. I run (on
Suse) JB 5 through 10, and have never had any issues (except installing JB
5 where the installr would not work due to bugs in InstallAnywhere). 7
through 10 went without a hitch.

I haven't used Mandrake in quite a while, but I used to have a couple of
machines using Madrake and I did not have any problems either. I would look
at two things (1) Make sure that the Project/Properties are pointing to a
REAL JDK. It sounds really fishy that /usr/java is pointing to /usr/lib,
since Javasoft, by default, has their rpms install to /usr/java. Both
Redhat and Suse use the /usr/lib/java and /usr/lib/java2 to point to the
JDKs installed path. Are you sure you do not have this reversed? If you are
pointing to a sym link instead of an actual path, this would explain
everything. JBuilder is not going to understand a sym link, whereas linux
(and Unix) does.

Seond thing is to check the jdk.config file in your /jbuilder/bin directory.
The originating location may be /usr/local/JBuilder/bin or in your home
directory /home/<username>/JBuilder, if you installed it on the default
install path. Of course Suse's default path is /opt/JBuilder. There was a
time that Interbase always installed in /opt, which is where Solaris
usually installs software.

I doubt that the last issue is your issue, due to the fact that you can run
JBuilder, but your projects cannot find /lib folder that contains the
needed jar files Java needs to run the build. 

One more thing, check your path settings in Mandrake and see if you have a
JAVA_HOME environment variable and set a path to your JDK. This too, could
be the culprit.

Go to a terminal and type java -version. If nothing returns (the Java
version should display), then your path and envrionment variables are not
set. This will cause you problems as well.

Here are the terminal settings:

bin/> java -version

bin/>PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.x:/usr/java/J2sdk1.4.x/lib;

bin/>echo JAVA_HOME 

This should return the actual java home location, if it returns null, then
it is not set

bin/>JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.x


You mat also want to set the following:

JRE_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.x/jre

JDK_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.x

JAVA_ROOT=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/bin

Please note that these settings will not hold outside of the terminal. Ince
you exit terminal, you lose these settings. So you may want to launch
JBuilder within this terminal. If this fixes your problems, then make them
permanent in your /etc/profiles file, by adding these paths and seetings.
You may have a profile.local file, which is ideally where these settings
should go, but as I said, I haven't used Mandrake in a while and I do not
remember where all of their settings go. 

Good luck and maybe these suggestions will fix your problems.
