Hello.  Have just installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my machine.  Installed IntelliJ IDEA no problem, downloaded java SDK 1.8 no problem.  I created a new project and pointed it to the sdk, and I see the libraries listed in the library dropdown on the left side of the screen under "External Libraries."  I typed a simple program: "hello linux!" and get the following error when compiling (see below.)  I am new to Linux so I haven't the slightest clue what has just happened.  Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

What CPU architecture do you have? Is it an ARM system?

Please provide the output from

/home/truxillo/jdk1.8.0_131/bin/java -version

Serge:

I was able to find a solution to the problem, however the answers you requested are as follows:

 

1) I am running am Intel dual core i3-5020U 64 bit (2.20GHz each), which is Broadwell, and therefore I believe not ARM.

2) Output from /opt/java/jdk1.8.0_131/bin/java -version is:

  • openjdk version "1.8.0_131"
  • OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-8u131-b11-0ubuntu1.16.04.2-b11)
  • OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

The solution I found was to point IntelliJ to the OpenJDK found in

        /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

which is what NetBeans points to, which is where I got the idea--NetBeans worked, IntelliJ did not.  That being said, the JDK that referenced in answer (2) above is definitely direct from the Oracle website, which I thought was distinct from OpenJDK.  That is to say, I'm not entirely sure why the original JDK from Oracle site won't work, but I suppose it does not matter.

At any rate, my IDE's all now work, and I am at pre-windows deletion capacity once again.

Thank you.

Greg
