Ubuntu / GIJ

By default the Ubuntu linux distribution comes with the gij (GNU libgcj) Java virtual machine. In order to make wikipathways work correctly, you will need to replace this with Sun's JVM. You can do this by installing the packages sun-java5-jre and sun-java5-plugin or sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin.
