Diana, What linux distribution are you using? Some distributions come with preinstalled JDKs. Some like Fedora Core 3 come with GCJ (GNU compiler for java) and GCJ executables have the same names as Sun JDK. Can you check the value of JAVA_HOME (echo $JAVA_HOME) and the location of java executables: Command line argument -cp is used (at least with Sun JDK) to specify the classpath.
