Download the rpm file from sun.java.com, and use their installation instructions (the ones on the download page). Keep track of where it is installed. add this line to your .bashrc: export PATH=$PATH:/your/path/tojava/jdk1.5.0_04/bin this adds the bin directory of the jdk to your path environment variable so you can type: javac whatever.java instead of /your/path/to/java/jdk1.5/bin/javac whatever.java that should get you all of the functionality you need to program in java. -- Alex Esplin -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
