Making Grails on Fedora 14 works (native2ascii issue)
January 22, 2011
If you try to run a fresh Grails project on a F14 default install, with the default OpenJdk, as a result you’ll get this error
Error executing script RunApp: : Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
: Error starting Sun's native2ascii:
that’s because by default the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the JRE path instead of the JDK.
To fix it you could just set the JAVA_HOME to the right path issuing a
export JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk
and putting in your /etc/profile.d scripts, or just fixing the java configuration file /etc/java/java.conf
and uncommenting the following line:
JAVA_HOME=$JVM_ROOT/java
Happy Grails coding!
