Selenium Error - Linux - "Failed to start new browser session: java.lang.RuntimeException: SystemRoot apparently not set

[StuartM]

Hi,

I am trying to run Selenium on Redhat EL 5.5 with no GUI.

Command: java -cp ./junit-3.8.1.jar:./junit-dep-4.4.jar:./selenium-
java-client-driver-1.0.2.jar:./project-regression-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar
org.junit.runner.JUnitCore
org.domian.regressionTesting.testCases.UC01_TC01_S01

However, I am getting this error:


JUnit version 3.8.1
.E
Time: 0.072
There was 1 failure:
1) testNew(org.domain.regressionTesting.testCases.UC01_TC01_S011)
java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not start Selenium session: Failed
to start new browser session: java.lang.RuntimeException: SystemRoot
