I set the JAVA_HOME variable as follows:
sudo /usr/bin/env -i JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_04 TOMCAT_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/tomcat/lib:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/i386:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_04/jre/lib/i386/server /usr/local/aolserver/bin/nsd -ft /usr/local/aolserver/sample-config.tcl -u ncarroll -g web
I don't think the paths are the problem.
