I don't know if this is an artifact of the email system or not, but your path line included a space between the /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin: and the /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/bin. It shouldn't be there. Other than that, this should work.
Often, though, rather than change my path, I like to put in symlinks, usually under /usr/local. So, in this case, I'd recommend you create a symlink called javac inside /usr/local/bin that points to /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/javac (syntax below). Repeat for any other ones you need too. Since the $PATH variable is evaluated from left to right, the one in /usr/local/bin will be chosen before the one in /usr/bin, since /usr/local/bin comes first. Anyway, either way would work. Good luck, and let us know how it works out. Lloyd Symlink syntax (you may have to do this as root): ln -s /path/to/target /path/to/link So, for example, try this: ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/javac /usr/local/bin/javac Alex Esplin wrote: > On 2/4/06, Zak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>The SDK was installed at: /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06 >>The Path is: >>/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/zak/bin > > > in your home directory do: > vim .bashrc (or whatever other text editor you use) > and add the following line: > export PATH="$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin: /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/bin" > This will add the locations where javac and java live to your path. > > Someone might want to double check the syntax on that export line, my > linux machine is doing emerge -e system itself right now and I can't > look at my own .bashrc. > > >>The Path to the javac is:/usr/bin/javac > > > Then go to /usr/bin (as root) and remove the javac and java > executables that are in there. > > -- > Alex Esplin > > -------------------- > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > > The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their > author.
