Re: [newbie] java again
There should be a symlink/usr/java pointing to your java executable. Yours appears to be pointing to the kaffe executable. just delete it and remake it with the correct destination. 'whereis java' will tell you where any symlinks or executables are on your system. Kaffe sometimes gets installed as a dependency without you intending it. The server wizards for example list kaffe as a required dependency. derek On Sunday 06 January 2002 01:28, Eric McClure wrote: For some reason I had to install jre to get konqueror to see my apps. but when i type in 'java -version' kaffe comes up! it use to read j2sdk1.4.0 what gives? also I've tried to modify my .bashrc but it seems the changes don't take affect. what is the permissions for .bashrc?

Re: [newbie] Java (again)
How did you configure it? I first tried to use the GUI Konqueror configuration tool, where you can put in the path to your java file, but it didn't work for me. I then did it manually, using the console and it worked. 1- open a console 2- su to root 3- cd to /etc/ in it you have a file named 'profile'. that's where you have to add the path to java. 4- here a very basic knowledge of vi is very handy. vi profile type 'a' to insert the following line (modify it according to your path and version) PATH=/usr/local/j2re1.3.0/bin:$PATH type esc to go back to command mode. type ':x' to save and exit. 5- you can type 'cat profile' to check that it's ok. restart xwindows. the above worked for me. Dear Anguo, Thanks for the instructions. I went into the file as root and did what you described except I did not know exactly where my entry should go. I put it under the other Path entry. It is there now, but nothing has changed yet. I am perplexed that this does not work now after working before. Thanks for the help. Sincerely, Marcia

Re: [newbie] Java (again)
Hi Marcia, Here's what I think you will need to do to get your Java working again. I am assuming that when you login to Linux, you do so as a regular user, NOT AS root. In order for Java to run, you need to set up a minimum of two environment variables so that it can find the files it needs to run. These two environment variables are named PATH and CLASSPATH. You can set them up in one of two ways: 1) temporarily, good for the life of the shell you are running in; or 2) as permanent environment variables, available to every shell you open. I use method 2... You can use the following command to view your current environment variable settings (the [obiwan@localhost]$ represents my shell prompt; yours should look similar...): [obiwan@localhost]$ export To set things up so that each new shell is using the same global environment variable settings, perform the following steps. I will mark any comment lines here using a '#' in the first column. # ASSUMPTIONS I AM MAKING: # # I am assuming you know the directory where you installed # the JDK. I installed mine into: /usr/local/j2sdk1.3 # This is normally referred to as JAVA_HOME, and we will # indeed set up just such an environment variable, as well # as PATH and CLASSPATH. # # I am assuming that you know that the system will expand # out the name of an environment variable whenever it sees # a '$' at the beginning of an environment variable name. # This is why you say: 'cd $HOME' to change the current # directory to your home directory. # # I am assuming you will REMOVE any previous edits you made # to the /etc/profile, so they don't conflict with the things # I suggest that you do. # Step 1. You need to edit the file that sets the environment variables in your shell of choice. I use the default bash shell, so the file I edited is named: $HOME/.bashrc Type in the following command to open this file in the editor: [obiwan@localhost]$ gedit $HOME/.bashrc Inside the editor you will most likely see something similar to: # .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -r /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi # Step 2. Go to the last line of the file, and type in the following two lines to set up a new environment variable that represents where you installed Java: # Set up the Java Development Environment Variables export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.3 # # The export command will make this variable visible in all shells # Step 3. Next, type in the following two lines to modify your existing PATH variable to work with Java: # export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH Step 4. Create a CLASSPATH variable, so that Java will know where to search for class files. Type in the following two lines: # export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip Step 5. Save the file, and exit the editor. The file should look *similar* to the one shown below: # .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -r /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi # ### # Set up the Java Development Environment Variables ### # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.3 # export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH # export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/lib/classes.zip # # end setup for Java Development Environment Variables ## Step 6. To export the new variables into the environment (without rebooting), type in the following command at a shell prompt: [obiwan@localhost]$ source .bashrc Now you should be ready to Rock 'n Roll. Try running anything Java! Later on, you can add new directories or jar files to the CLASSPATH variable following this same technique... The next time you log in as that same user, you will instantly have those same environment variables available to your shell(s)! Good luck - if you have any questions, you know where to find me.

I don't use netscape, so I wouldn't know what to do. Also, when I first open Konqueror I get a box with an error message that says cannot find ns plugin or something close to that. I believe that setting up the path as above could solve the problem with Konqueror. give it a try. I am sorry: i didn't see you previous emails until right now. You were asking me whether to install the latest version or not. I certainly wouldn't know whether it is a good choice or not, but I know two things: 1- what worked for me 2- reading this forum, I noticed that the latest version of everything is not necessarily the best for individual cases. Faced with the choice of version, I decided to play it safe and downloaded the version from http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/ that got prized. j2re1.3.0 I believe. I downloaded the intel version even though I have an AMD Duron chip, but that worked fine with me. Anguo. I looked in at my java files in /usr and they are there and seem ok. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help. This was all working fine before and just stopped working on its own as far as I know. Sincerely, Marcia
