run.sh: Missing file: /lib/tools.jar
run.sh: Unexpected results may occur. Make sure JAVA_HOME points to a JDK and not a JRE.

my system is a debian etch kernel 2.6.16, thanks for any suggestions

You might have already done this, but it wouldn't hurt to check if you have JAVA_HOME env variable set.

It's looking for tools.jar which resides in the $JAVA_HOME/lib directory.

I check the JAVA_HOME but it seams to be ok, but i check the run.jar and inside this file does not appear any /lib directory
what am i missing?

another problem found:
/home/fgamba/jboss/jbpm-starters-kit-3.1/jbpm-server/server/default/conf/
does not exist, what can i do to fix that?

I think you need to specify the configuration you are using as an argument to the server. Under the server directory, you probably have some other directory besides default, like jbpm maybe. Whatever that directory is, do this run.sh -c jbpm (or whatever the directory is).

David is right, for that reason there is a start batchfile which does exactely that....

[fernandogamba]

ok, this is the situation, the problem was in my JBOSS_HOME variable. I downloaded the jboss, i follow the steps issued in the readme and it works, but when i do the same with the starter kit i have troubles with that variable, i have to launch the run.sh with the full path of the starter kit and the problem is solved.
thanks for the help

[kukeltje]

Yep, but again, the docs of the starterkit say to use ./start.bat exacetely for this reason. There is no ./start.sh afaik, so maybe that would be a small addition to the starterkit
