Java Installation--help

[Linux1245]

I did try that and the command worked but the error I posted earlier still comes up. Any ideas why? Should I try installing it again. And doing the bashrc again? Thanks again.

Before you try that type echo $PATH and post the output here. Please let's have a look at what's in your path.

But yes - Anything is worth a try if nothing is working.

Here is exactly what comes up.

[root@localhost name]# echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
[root@localhost name]#

Thanks again

Okay - I notice you're doing everything as root. Be careful! It's fine to be root when you need to be but one false move and ....

The Java binary isn't in your path. Did you add it after all? Try this:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java

Then once again type echo $PATH

Any difference?

I got it working. The java path is in the echo $PATH. I don't know why it worked this time. Oh. I think I had to close it then open again. Thanks everyone for all your help. This really helps me. Thanks again.
