jomdoc gets java path wrong

[kohlhase]

on MacOS, I have problems using bleeding-edge/jomdoc it gets the java path wrong and gives me the error

Unable to locate an executable at "/usr/bin/bin/java" (-1)

I looked at the script jomdoc and cannot even change it to use /usr/bin/java Something funny is going on here.

OK, I partially solved the problem: if I comment out the line with

JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin

then things work for me. My system JAVA_HOME (Mac OS) is

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home

First on a Mac I figured out that Java preferences should only be set by Applications/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences. Second, I no longer have any Java related environment variable set in, for example, .bashrc. Third, I guess a kind of Java path variable should be a prerequisite to run JOMDoc rather than to point to some explicit path.

My 2ct.

oh, I forgot to say that I have to leave JAVA_HOME alone and call java with a full path /usr/bin/java in the last line.

@Michael, is this still an issue for you?

[kohlhase]

no, this seems to work, closing the issue.

I was wrong after the last update (which probably flushed my local modifications to jomdoc) I get an error again:

../../../jomdoc/jomdoc render mathtalk.omdoc -t -x ../../../jomdoc/xsl/omdoc2pmml-copymobj.xsl --xsl-param css=../../../jomdoc/css/omdoc/omdoc-default.css -o mathtalk.xhtml
Unable to locate an executable at "/usr/bin/bin/java" (-1)
make: *** [mathtalk.xhtml] Error 2
Macintosh-76:en kohlhase$ which java
/usr/bin/java

so I have to reopen this.

I know Dimitar was updating scripts yesterday, it might have caused the problem
