because your shell does not know where the javac binary is located.
I'd suggest you extract the files to /usr/local, then add the jdk bin
directory to you path, like this:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/bin
and then export your classpath like this:
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/jre/lib/rt.jar:.
some applications need some more environment variables so you might have to
to do the following as well:
export JAVA_PATH=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/
export JDK_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1/
(it probably makes sense if you put all this stuff in some of your shell
startup files, like ~/.bashrc for bash or ~/.cshrc for tcsh)
