When I built the Jikes RVM on Ubuntu, I got this error. Any idea?

bin/buildit localhost production
---> Config: production

OS:

Linux ubuntu 2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 06:07:29 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Environmental Variables: PATH

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22/bin<

JAVA_HOME

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.22

I checked the java in the JAVA_HOME/bin directory, it works. No matter how I change the environmental variables, the error kept complaining

"We cannot execute /opt/jdk1.6.0/bin/java".

It seems that I didn't modify the right "position".

run this command:

find . -exec grep "jdk1.6.0" {} \;

To find out which file is setting JAVA_HOME to that path.
