InterProScan Java issue

Question

[Matt]

Hi there,

I've been attempting to install InterProScan 5.25-64.0 on a Linux Centos 6.7 cluster. After running into multiple issues with various binaries, I've managed to install it and can run it in interactive mode without any trouble. However, when I try to run it in a job script, the output file just contains an error message that it detects Java 1.7, not 1.8. My cluster only had Java 1.7 installed, so I downloaded and installed 1.8 to my home directory myself. java -version gives me:

java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Has anyone got any advice? Do I need to specify the Java 1.8 path in the InterProScan properties file, or somewhere else in the job script?

Prepend the path to Java 1.8 on your job script:

export PATH=/path/to/java1.8.bin.directory:$PATH
