Cent OS 4.6 - need help in JDK installation

Hello all,

I just started with Linux and CentOS 4.6. I have installed jdk1.6.0_07 on my machine. I used a binary file download, made it executable and installed it.

Code:

[root@vik ~]# cd /usr/share/java-1.6.0

[root@vik ~]# chmod +600 jdk-6u7-linux-i586.bin

[root@vik ~]# ./jdk-6u7-linux-i586.bin

After the installation, I did some testing whether the JDK is working fine or not. I tried compiling a java code, but it gave an error.

Code:

[root@vik ~]# cd /usr/share/java-1.6.0/jdk1.6.0_07/bin

[root@vik ~]# javac Hello.java

bash: javac: command not found

I checked the java version installed.

Code:

[root@vik ~]# java -version

java version "1.4.2"

gcj (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-10)

Hey guys, solved this problem. Actually figured out a workaround. I wasnt able to get that working, but I had to install Netbeans as well, so downloaded the jdk+netbeans package. That did the trick.

Hi,

My guess is that either you don't have /usr/share/java-1.6.0/jdk1.6.0_07/bin in roots PATH environmetal variable so bash doesn't know where to find javac or you should have typed;

./javac Hello.java

in that directory.

Steve

Hmmm.. that might have been the case Steve. The PATH variable was correctly configured but i did type the command like...

Code:

[root~vik]# javac Hello.java

Thanks for the information. I'll keep that in mind.
