Hello again...

I still can't set the JAVA_HOME. When I 'ls' the /etc in the terminal as root, the 'profile' is not a directory. There's a 'profile.d' directory though. Are they the same? I tried in bash and tcsh shell, both can't work.
Instead of unpacking in /usr/local (I did that too, I tried /etc/rc.d/init.d also.

[root@localhost /]# cd/etc/rc.d/init.d
[root@localhost init.d]# chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_1_05-linux-i586.bin
[root@localhost init.d]#./j2sdk-1_4_1_05-linux-i586.bin
[root@localhost init.d]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/j2sdk1.4.1_05/bin/java -version
java version "1.4.1_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_05-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_05-b01, mixed mode)

When I #which java and #which javac, it returns no java and javac.
Ok, now I set the path.

[root@localhost init.d]# PATH="$PATH:/etc/rc.d/init.d/j2sdk1.4.1_05/bin:." export PATH

i test the path i set just now, and which java and which javac, all is ok. But when I close the terminal and open a new one, it's gone! The set path command was suppose to be set in /etc/profile, but as there's no such directory, I set it in /etc/rc.d/init.d
There's no '~/.bashrc' or bash_profile thing anywhere. I did all of that in terminal. If I access through the desktop, I can find the profile and bashrc but they are normal files not directories.
Please please help me!!!

Thank you.

I've tried to answer this in your other post. PLEASE don't double post!

Cheers

Yeah, the least you could do is give a little feedback when someone trys to help.

Just for clarity; of your THREE (that I've seen as yet) posts on the same problem, I answered here, and /bin/bash answered here.
