Hi Matthias
You are doing this correctly. But you have to have java (virtual
machine, not the octave package) installed on the machine before
installing java and jhandles and the JAVA_HOME environment variable
has to be set correctly.
So if you use for example gcj then do
export JAVA_HOME = /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
on the terminal that you start octave from before starting octave.
If you use another java virtual machine then you have to figure out
what the home for java is in that case.
