Hey,

I've installed JDK 1.5.0 on Linux, and I can't get it to work completely. I got the "javac" command to work right, but when I try to run my programs by typing "java whatever", it says it's missing a bunch of classes or something. I went and asked the teacher's assistants at my university about it, and they said I probably needed to set the classpath in my .bashrc file to something, but they didn't know what I needed to set it to. I also emailed my professor, and he said that he wasn't able to help me either. Which makes me wonder... how in the world do all these people program in Java on their computers without even knowing how to get it installed? Anyway, I've been researching this and trying all sorts of things, but I can't get it to work. I even messed something up and almost had to reinstall Linux. Any help would be appreciated, as I am getting very frustrated. Thanks.

Never mind. I just got the problem fixed with help from another Linux forum.

What was the fix?

I had to put this in my .bashrc file:

export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/cole/bin:.
export JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06
export JAVA_ROOT=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06
