I just installed the jre-1.3.1_02 from sun using the non-rpm .bin file provided by Sun.
I installed su root, to /usr/java. when I try java -version at a bash shell, I get can't find libjava.so.
I checked my environment and there was no classpath set, so I added a CLASSPATH= pointing to the directory with libjava.so,
tried java -version again, same results, set CLASSPATH= 1 dir level up, repeat, etc. still no joy.
the symlink in /usr/bin does point to the correct java .
can anyone tell me what settings I need? the jre was installed to /usr/java/jre1.3.1_02
