0007 · 01-16-2005, 09:12 AM

hi

i have red hat 9 on the system. i downloaded java sdk for linux path from sun and installed it. i did exactly what this website's tutorial said, but still it says javac command not found even though i renamed the path using the locate javac command.

also my interent doesnt work properly i cant enter my mail in hotmail or yahoo.

This is because you have not set the path properly. U have to set the PATH and CLASSPATH variables in .bash_profile

You open .bash_profile and add lines such as :

JAVA_HOME=/my/path/to/java
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

export JAVA_HOME
export PATH

i did this in .bash_profile

PATH = $PATH:/usr/java/j2ske1.4.2-06/bin/javac
export PATH

i found the path by typing locate javac in terminal.

but still i get this error:

bash: javac : command not found

The correct pat must be: /usr/java/j2sdke1.4.2-06/bin
javac is a file, not folder

You have reboot for the effect to take place... are u logged in as root? otherwise hte bashprofile for that particular user also has to be changed

Another way to solve the problem would have been to create symlinks to the java, javac, javah etc file in /usr/local/bin, that way any user who logs into the machine will be able to use the programs without needing to add it to their .bash_profile file and rebooting.
