Hi, all.

I have some problem with java installation. When I checked my java -version, it show that:

java -version
bash: java: command not found

I used openSUSE 10.3. Can any one help me, please!

if your referring to the actual JRE or JDK from Sun, read the instructions they give you on the page where you download it--they are usually very good. i imagine its because 'java' isnt in your $PATH. search here for topics like that, or, again, read and follow the complete directions.

I'm newbie about java on linux OS. I just used linux for about 2 week, so I hope you would like to guide me how to install it, please!.

Really I'm very confused how to install it. I have tried all the instruction guide, but until now I cann't do it still.

I installed java on /opt folder, when I check ls -l /usr/bin/java
it shown that lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2008-03-17 20:07 /usr/bin/java -> /opt/jdk1.6.0_05/bin. But when I check java -version, it shown

java -version
bash: java: command not found

According to the installation guide, if installation is successfull it should show the java -version that I used. But it is not. I hope any one can help me, please! And show me by good reffernce. Thanks

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03
export J2RE_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03/jre
export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/lib

Put that in your .profile or .bash_profile (hidden file in your home directory). Replace the paths with the proper ones. My jdk/jre are in /usr/java, yours may be elsewhere. Log out and it should work. But why didn't you install the jdk/jre through Yast?

Thanks, once again for your appreciation. I've found now.
