This KB describes how to fix “Error: native VM not supported” with a simple method.

Error:

Error: native VM not supported

Fix:

If you run a script and you get this error, first of all you need to check script if there is any strings like which I added below. You need to change OPTIONS and disable “-native”.

Original Version:

if [ "`java -version 2>&1 | grep \"version.*1.4\"`" != "" ]; then
OPTIONS=""
else
OPTIONS="-native"
fi

Change OPTIONS:

if [ "`java -version 2>&1 | grep \"version.*1.4\"`" != "" ]; then
OPTIONS=""
else
OPTIONS="-native"
fi

If you have defined “-native” in your java configuration please check and disable it.

if [ "`java -version 2>&1 | grep \"version.*1.4\"`" != "" ]; then
OPTIONS=""
else
OPTIONS="-native"
fi

To remove ‘-native’ flag

if [ "`java -version 2>&1 | grep \"version.*1.4\"`" != "" ]; then
OPTIONS=""
else
OPTIONS="-native"
fi
