I set MERLIN_HOME to merlin_SNAPSHOT that I created in order to contain

MERLIN_HOME should refer to the root merlin directory (and it sounds like your pointing to the directory containing the merlin directory)..

Hi, I'm nearly finished with Merlin installation; however, I'm doing
something wrong as the following command:
$ merlin - version

gives me the following output:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot
find the path specified
      at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)
      at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
      at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
      at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source)
The only reason why this error could occur is if the location of the jar
file referenced by the merlin.bar file is incorrect (its basically the
java command not finding the merlin cli jar file).  This suggests that
there may be a problem in the definition of MELRIN_HOME.
What happens when you do the following command:

$ dir %MERLIN_HOME%\bin\lib\

Stephen.

I'm following the instructions at the following URL:

http://avalon.apache.org/merlin/starting/installation/3.2/binary.html

However the following piece of code it's not clear to me:

"Versions of Merlin prior to the 3.2-dev 20031210 build maintained a
local

repository of jar files under the %MERLIN_HOME%/repository directory. As

of

the 20031210 build the repository is maintained under AVALON_HOME which defaults to ${user.home}/.avalon. To override this behaviour you can

either

define a AVALON_HOME environment variable or you can add a

merlin.properties

file to ${user.home} containing the "merlin.repository" property key and

a
value point to you preferred repository location."
I've in order:
1) Created a folder named merlin-SNAPSHOT 2) Copied under this folder /merlin and /plugins built from the avalon
CVS
distribution (that created /merlin/target/merlin)
3) Set the MERLIN_HOME variable to merlin-SNAPSHOT
4) Added MERLIN_HOME/bin to the Path
Now I am not clear about what to do: shall I declared an AVALON_HOME
which
points to the Avalon CVS distribution from which I built merlin?

I'm running on Windows XP.

Thanks for any help,

Marco
