I had this problem with Limewire when I upgraded to j2re1.4.2_05 with Mandrake 10.1 Powerpack DVD.
My .bashprofile does not have the lines you refer to, it is just the default, but /etc/profile has the following lines which I added, which fixed the problem to which you refer: JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/jre PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin CLASSPATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/lib: export JAVA_HOME PATH CLASSPATH As you can see I changed the reference in JAVA_HOME to point to /usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_05/jre/bin/ instead of at the symbolic link (/user/java/j2re1.4.2_05). This is probably not the most elegant solution and I am not even sure why there were symbolic links used in the first place. All I know is after I did this, without use of symbolic links, LimeWire worked - no more message about Java VM not installed. I always seem to struggle with symbolic links, and this got around it. Please let me know if this works for you.
