I am new to linux and downloaded the rpm file j2sdk-1_4_2-04-linux-i686-rpm .
Now, I created a java file in the path usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin where javac is located.
When I give the command:-
[root@localhost bin]# javac Test.java
it gives the following error:
bash: javac : command not found.

You're in luck, this should be very simple to fix. You do not have Java in your PATH. To do this you will want to execute the following:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin

Now, one caveat. This will only apply to your current session (ie if you open another terminal window, it won't transfer the settings)

To make this permanant add the above line to your ~/.profile or your ~/.bashrc file.

That's it!

thanks a lot. it worked.
Now can u tell me how to use oracle in fedora?

Probably not the right forum for the last question, but I'll try to answer it anyhow. Oracle officially supports SuSE and RedHat Enterprise versions. That said, you might not care about the "official" certified combinations, and only care to get it to work. The Oracle installer is, I believe, a little bit more lax about these things. But it will still check to see what distribution you're running, and I don't know if it allows fedora.

You'll learn this pretty quick once you run the runInstaller script as part of the Oracle installation process. If you get an error message about "unsupported platform" then you'll know that fedora won't work without hacking a file or two.

I'm going to be trying to install 10g on Mandrake in a couple weeks, but with a new baby in the house that might be tricky...best I can tell you is try to install it. http://otn.oracle.com is the place to start with documentation.

thanks for ur reply.
