install: JRE problems

[mrentropy1]

OK I've installed Intel Fortran on a gazillion systems. Today, brand spankin' new fresh Ubuntu 9.04 64 bit install, tried to install Intel Fortran.

Problem? Doesn't find the Java JRE:

[plain]Step no: 4 of 7 | Installation configuration - Missing Optional Pre-requisite
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This system does not appear to have a Java* JRE version 5.0 (also referred to as
1.5.0) installed.  This may prevent operation of the Intel Debugger GUI.  For
further details, please refer to the System Requirement section of the product
Release Notes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, er, I HAVE Java JRE version 5.0 (aka 1.5.0):

[plain]me@mymachine$ java -showversion
java version "1.5.0_19"
Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_19-b02)
[/plain]

I give up. After several hours, installing about 6 different versions of JRE, the installer is not to be appeased.

Thoughts?

There is a known issue with the installer which may issue a warning even if a working and supported JRE is on the system. You can safely ignore this warning als long as you have a Java JRE 1.5 (also known as 5.0) or later on your system. The JRE is only required if you use the GUI version of the Intel IDB Debugger.
