Error occurred during initialization of VM

Everything was ok last week, I just restarted Tomcat today and got this 
errror message,

Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Tomcat 5.5.14
Apache 2.2
Fedore Core 5
jdk1.5.0_08
(No VM)

java -version,  from the command line returns,
java version "1.4.2"

It seems Tomcat can't find the JVM it could previously, what could this be 
from?

Jim-
I would re-download /and re-install 1.5 JVM/JDK
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download-netbeans.html
set your JAVA_HOME to the location where you have installed Java to
when in doubt write down the Java install location directory and later set JAVA_HOME to that folder e.g.
set JAVA_HOME=/usr/Java

RE: Error occurred during initialization of VM

Hi there,

I'm a bit surprised of what you get from your java -version.
It says "gij (GNU libgcj)" and as far as I know, gcj is the GNU native java compiler. I can also see that there is a mismatch between the VM version that should be installed (1.5.0_08) and the version returned by java -version (1.4.2). You should follow the previous advices and reinstall the Sun JVM.

That's about as basic as you can get...

> java -version,  from the command line returns,
> java version "1.4.2"
> gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)

The above demonstrates that java/lang/Object was found when you ran
-version.  However, the version display contradicts what you stated you
have installed.

Permissions problem on the directory containing rt.jar?  Using the java
launcher from a non-standard location?  Incorrect setting of JAVA_HOME?
Too many JVMs installed on the system?
