Hallo all,
just now I downloaded
jdk-6-beta2-linux-i586.bin
in my usr/local, and extracted it by
./jdk-6-beta2-linux-i586.bin,
finally I got
usr/local/jdk1.6.0
Then I mkdir java in usr/local, and programmed the HalloWorldApp.java in this new directory.

The problem is that
when I type
javac HalloWorldApp.java
"bash: javac: command not found" comes up.
if I type
./javac /usr/local/java/HalloWorldApp.java in usr/local/jdk1.6.0/bin where the javac file is found, it seems to work, and I got HalloWorldApp.class in the same directory as HalloWorldApp.java. However when I try to run
./java /usr/local/java/HalloWorldApp
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /usr/local/java/HalloWorldApp" turns up.

I'd like to know whether it means that my java engine was not correctly installed. How could I get around this problem?

Thanks in advance, win2s
BTW, my linux distro is debian 2.6.8-3-386

I think it does. With kernel 2.6.8, I assume you're using Sarge. Number one, I think it's time to move up to Etch, where you may choose to download Sun Java from the repositories.

On the other hand, even using Etch, I still choose to download and install the Sun Java bin from Sun. Here are instructions for doing it correctly.
