install fails on ubuntu

[advanced]

I have tried all the combo possible, but I still get the No rule to make target `jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so' error

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/
or
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/
or
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64

my python is 2.7 , node gyp 0.7,1 and node is 0.8.14

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so is present so I'm not sure what the error is.
java home is working of for my other stuff I'd appreciate some help thanks

I have forked the repo and hardcoded the reference to $(JAVA_HOME) in binding.gyp and managed to install it.

Strange. I can't reproduce this behavior. I'll leave the issue open.

I have the same problem in ubuntu.

when I execute the command :

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
$ npm install java

I get the following error "/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so', needed by 'build/depsVerified'. Stop."

I'm getting the same issue as well on Ubuntu with the zsh shell. I used advanced's fix and hard coded the path and everything worked again.
I think the JAVA_HOME environment is not being found by bindings.js

You might look into using command expansion for setting a gyp variable for the JAVA_HOME path. Setting the variable's value to something like <!(echo $JAVA_HOME) for *nix and something like <!(echo %JAVA_HOME%) for Windows. Then use gyp variable expansion where you need it.

Thanks @mscdex I've updated the binding.gyp file using command expansion. Still works for me on Ubuntu, don't have a windows box I can try it on right now.

Just thought I would mention I am having the same problem on latest ubuntu.

@matt-way @mscdex @atrniv @blaacka Can you clone my fork locally and try building that? Here's the URL: https://github.com/jsdevel/node-java.git

I currently have PR for issue #94 open and I believe it will solve issues like this.

@joeferner this can probably be closed out.
