Hi,

I have installed sun-java6-jdk on my machine running KUbuntu 8.10 . However , java -version shows the following:

java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.3.2

Any way to fix this ?

Thank You.

One of the nice (irritating) things about Java is that you can have multiple versions on your system, so applications that need older vs. newer versions will not (in theory) fail to run. If you look at /usr/bin/java you will see that it is a soft-link to the Java 1.5 executables in a sub-directory of /usr/java. You will also see 1.6 installed there as well. I leave the solution in your capable hands... though if you get stumped on how to fix this, post another message to this thread.
