Hello Arindam, thanx for the help. i installed J2SDK1.4.2 but not the rpm version. well the problem got solved as what was happening is that i was setting the CLASSPATH in one shell(1) and compiling in other shell(2). but when i compiled the same java file by changing to the directory in shell(1). then it worked without problem.
but still there is a question, as if above is the case then it means when we setup a variable in one shell it doesn't come in effect in global environment and doesn't show any change in other shells. but when u close all the shells and reopen them then it works in all the shells. why is that and what is the remedy. Then you have to provide the output of > something like this > "env | grep -i CLASSPATH". This should be executed > as the user you are > trying to compile the java program as. > > Which java are you using whether the sun jdk or > something else? > > What did you download the rpm version or something > else? > > Which distribution of Linux are you using? > > Finally you do have the setenv but since it is a > "csh" shell built in > command it will only be invoked after you have > changed your shell to csh > from bash.
