JBoss 5.1.0-GA not starting

[ksermas]

I've downloaded the JBoss 5.1.0-GA.zip file and unzipped it to where I want the jboss directory to be.  Aren't there any make files to run to get JBoss installed?   The error I'm getting is below:

]# ./run.sh -c default

You are using the gnu version of the JVM. That version is not qualified to run any app server. You need to install either the OpenJDK or an Oracle JDK. (Either that, or you forgot to set JAVA_HOME ...)

By the way, the entire installation process consists of unzipping the zip file.

Thank you sir!  You were absolutely right, the $JAVA_HOME wasn't set for the jboss user.  I set it in one of the jboss user's login scripts and jboss

came up
