I can't run javac

crazyzombie · 09-23-2005, 12:15 PM

I installed Red Hat recently but it won't let me use javac
when I try to compile the programs it tells me that javac is not found.
what can I do to run my programs?

Hi!

Read this:

I also assume that you are using J2SDK ratter then JRE, since JRE does not come with javac, only the runtime environment. To run your programs the syntax is java <classname> without the extension (.class) and to compile it's javac classname.java

Check Sun's documentation and tutorials related to Java if you are totally new to this

Good luck!

Mate, issue this command (I assume you didn't forget to install JRE itself)

ls -s /usr/bin path_to_javac

If the javac is on hd, the trick is to link it to a location in what all files are globally accessible. In simple terms /usr/bin is a dir where you should links yer apps to.
