First of all, I think you want to execute:
java program
not,
java program.class
If the CLASSPATH setting is really your problem, you could set it in
the appropriate dot file for your shell. There may be a more standard
place for it, but that will work. I use the tcsh shell (used it on
other Unices at work before getting Linux at home), but you are
probably using bash since I think that is the default RedHat Linux
shell. I'm not positive of the bash syntax since I use tcsh, but I
think put the following in your .bashrc file (in your home directory
should work):
CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jdk-1.1.5/lib/classes.zip:.
export CLASSPATH
and then log out and back in or just execute:
source ~/.bashrc
Your standard path variable can be set using the same method. There
are system wide files that set these things (try looking at
/etc/profile), but you can modify them in your .bashrc file.
