Can't install JDBC 1.5 on HP-UX 10.20 JRE 1.1.8

[Fabio Luis De Paoli]

I'm unable to install the Informix JDBC 1.5 on my HP-UX 10.20 server. I'm
attempting the silent installation and I get the outputs below:

Command line I used:
jre -v setup -o /opt/java/jre/ifx_jdbc -D serialNo=myserialnumber
key=mykey > /tmp/jdbc.out 2> /tmp/jdbc.err
(jre is HP's command name for the Java JRE, -v is for verbose)

Standard output (/tmp/jdbc.out):
InstallShield Java (TM) Edition
Extracting installation
code................................................................................done

Standard error (/tmp/jdbc.err):

The machine is an HP K360 running HP-UX 10.20, with HP-UX JRE 1.1.8 (HP
version C.01.18.00). We don't use X terminals with it, only text logins.
One thing I find strange in the installation is : if it's a silent
installation, why is the java/awt api being loaded by the setup utility? I
was able to install the same JDBC on my Windows 98 PC with the same setup
file and command structure. Thanks & regards,

We just discovered we were missing HP-UX patch PHSS_20861. However, after the HP patch was installed I'm
still unable to install the JDBC. The silent installation simply stops and does nothing. The
interactive installation, which I executed from a Linux PC equipped with X Windows, gives me the
following message after asking for the installation directory:

"Required VM Missing"
"The installation program has determined that your system does not have the virtual machine required to
run Informix JDBC Driver Version 1.50.JC1. You need one of the virtual machines listed below in order to
proceed with this installation. You can download them from http://www.javasoft.com. Please contact
Informix Software, Inc. or visit http://www.informix.com for additional information."
"Java 1.1 on any os from any vendor"

However, we are running HP's Java 1.1.8 implementation! Does anyone know what this installation program
uses to determine if a Java 1.1 runtime is available?

My environment variables are set to:
JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jre
JAVA_BIN=$JAVA_HOME/bin
CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_BIN
export JAVA_HOME JAVA_BIN CLASSPATH PATH

The HP jre adds to the classpath the directories below:
CLASSPATH=.:$CLASSPATH:$JAVA_HOME/classes:$JAVA_HOME/lib/rt.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/i18n.jar:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Best regards,
