I use ibm java 142. How do I amend the java path in openfoam?

I also have gcc 331 installed. Is this compatible

Below is my error message; can anyone advise please?

I can only advise you to install 1.2 instead. Create an installation tree exactly like the installation instructions say (so including gcc, paraview, jave) and it should all work.
