Hi, I am relatively new to using Linux systems, I usually develop on Windows platforms but I now have a project that needs to developed on Linux so I’ve successfully installed RH v9.0 and now I am trying to get J2SE installed.
I downloaded the latest .bin distro from the SUN website and ran this from my home directory logged in as root. The files unpacked Ok but it seems like that is all that happened. My path environment variable has not had the
java bin directory added to it, there is no CLASSPATH variable set and I cannot run jar files (the OS just seems to want to unpack them like zip files). I’m sure there a lot more configuration setting missing.
Is this normal? When I installed the same J2SE software for windows everything was
setup and installed correctly with a single click.
I’ve looked though lots of the documentation from SUN and from what I understand all of my env var's and file association should have been
setup, I was thinking of installing Redhat 7.3 and trying again, Is this worth doing or am I just missing something obvious.
In desperate need of some good advice
