jdk not in correct path
 
I downloaded the jdk slack package from slackware-current and installed it successfully. Firefox seems to have picked it up, but if I type java or javac at the prompt, it can't find it. Doing a whereis java command reveals that it is located in /usr/lib/java. Is there a way to set it so that I can use it at the terminal & so Netbeans can find it?

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/java/javac /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/lib/java/java /usr/bin

I tought the symlinks were created automatically...

Edit: I've just checked, /usr/lib/java is added in the PATH variable by the file /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh (or jdk.csh, depends on your shell) which should be executed when you login. Maybe you're using runlevel 4 and you're not using a X terminal with the login option.

I am using runlevel 5 (running XFCE). However, now the jdk & jre versions don't match up (1.5.0.9 & 1.6), so I'm going to try to use gcj instead.

I've created a simple Hello.java file:
Code:

class Hello{
        public static void main(String args[]){
                System.out.println("Hello!");
        }
}

Executing this gives me no errors:
Code:

gcj -c -g -O  Hello.java
Executing this gives me the following error:
Code:

java Hello
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Hello

Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Do you mean run level 4? Slackware uses run level 4 as graphical mode. Debian would be run level 5:-)

D'hoh! :newbie:
So what's the difference between runlevels 4 & 5?

Read the SlackBook that came with the DVD/CD.

Slackware uses runlevel 1 for maintenance, as on other Linux distributions; runlevels 2, 3 and 5 identically configured for a console (with all services active); and runlevel 4 adds the X Window System.

* 0 - Halt
* 1 - Single
* 2 - Full multi-user NO display manager
* 3 - Full multi-user NO display manager
* 4 - Full multi-user with display manager (GUI)
* 5 - Not used/User definable
* 6 - Reboot

I copied the information from this article:
