Hi Phil, When you install RPM from Sun it puts the Java in /usr/java/jdk1.5.XXX (raplace XXX with you minor version)
The whereis command uses an internal database that is not immediately refreshed, when you unistall or install RPM. It is refreshed once a day by default. Check your cron. You can also use the command find. Ex: find / -name java This command scans the disk for files with name java. It can be slow.
