Hello Jason, Please check whether Ubuntu and the Mauve shell script are using the gnu java (gcj). Mauve is tested for compatibility only with Sun's Java, and although some effort was made to get it working under GNU Java, at that time the incompatibility between GNU and Sun Java was too great. Mauve probably does not work with other linux JVM implementations either. In your off-list e-mail you named packages that provide a 'java' command. Please ensure these are uninstalled, then ensure that a recent version of Sun java is installed, for example by running: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-fonts sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin to install Sun java 6. Actually it's not strictly necessary to uninstall other java versions so long as the java command is linked to Sun's Java and the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to the sun java directory. As you know, the JAVA_CMD variable in the Mauve script can be set to specify the full path to the Sun java binary, but JAVA_HOME must also be set. If you are indeed using Sun's Java then it seems we have other problems.
