Hi,

I am running Python 3.9.12. When I try to install javabridge, I get:

From other issues, I tried many of the proposed solutions, but all failed.
I have defined JAVA_HOME in .bashrc

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

I have included JAVA_HOME/bin in PATH

echo $PATH
/home/daniel/Dropbox/Biotools/FastQC:/home/daniel/Dropbox/Biotools/bin:/home/daniel/Dropbox/Biotools/STAR:/home/daniel/anaconda3/bin:/home/daniel/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin

JAva is running:

$ java --version
openjdk 11.0.14.1 2022-02-08
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.14.1+1-post-Debian-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.14.1+1-post-Debian-1, mixed mode, sharing)

Thank you

[LeeKamentsky]

That is bizarre - obviously the problem is that setup can't run javac, but you do have the JDK installed. Can you do
javac -version?

[danielcanals2017]

Thank you for your reply.
The output of this command is:
$ javac -version
javac 11.0.15
