[GeoNetwork-users] GN 2.4.2 on Debian command-line install error - what am I missing?

Wolfgang_Grunberg · October 20, 2009, 10:47pm

Hello,
I am a Linux neophyte and am trying to do a command-line install of GeoNetwork 2.4.2 on our Amazon VM running Debian (had an old GeoNetwork 2.1. install)
I created an install.xml file on my windows box, modified it (see below), and ran the installer jar but I am getting the following error when installing gast.
What am I doing wrong?

** Install error:

Hi Wolfgang,
It looks like some libs have been compiled with a different JVM from
the one you're using.
Seeing UnsupportedClassVersionError.
Maybe an option, could you try to run the installer with a java 1.6 ?
(even if GeoNetwork should work fine with 1.5)
