jdk on mdk 10.1

[apoorv_khurasia]

Hi
I recently shifted to mdk from FC4. I tried to install the java development kit on my box but it does not work. It gets installed but when I run the following commands

java

or

javac

I just get the message of unrecognized command. It used to work on MDK 10.0 and FC 2,3,4. but not here. ANY HELP??????
Thanks in advance.

Your java and javac binaries are now in /usr/java/j2sdk*/bin folder
You could link them to /usr/bin if you like

or you could update your path variable with:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/

Thanks that worked but whenever I restart my console (leave alone the computer) I have to retype this command.

Find

pathmunge /sbin
pathmunge /usr/sbin
pathmunge /usr/local/sbin

in your /etc/profile and add

pathmunge /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04/bin/

after them

Could not find such things in /etc/profile. Pasting the whole file here....

This seems like the simplest solution...have you tried this?

ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk*/bin/java /usr/bin/java
ln -s /usr/java/j2sdk*/bin/javac /usr/bin/javac

(Replace * with your version)
