New installation on Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

[mbartz]

I did a fresh install on El Capitan (10.11.4) and I am having an error finding the Java JRE on my machine.  I have the 1.8 JRE installed but it is not found by the installed newLISP-GS.  I read some earlier posts and was able to get the GUI editor running using this:

Code Select Expand

java -jar /usr/local/share/newlisp/guiserver.jar 47011 /usr/local/bin/newlisp-edit

Is there a configuration not set?



Also, FYI, the README for the 10.7 still refers to /usr/bin rather than /usr/local/bin for the newlisp executables.

Not sure what is going on. Perhaps a faulty Java installation? Have not seen this, I am also running OSX Capitan and always update/install the latest Java. Perhaps other users have seen this?



Several documentation files needed update to /usr/local, see here: http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/inprogress/">http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/develo ... nprogress/">http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/inprogress/

Does the GUI editor depend on any environment variables being set?  I have scoured the forums and see some mention of JAVA_HOME as an env variable.

On both the OS X and Windows system, I am using, JAVA_HOME is not defined but the java executable (javaw on Windows) is in the executable path.



On OS X there is a link from /usr/bin/java to the Java Framework files:
