Any > suggestions? because the CLASSPATH depends on the program which has to be startet and each program has its own libraries it does not make sense to set the classpath to a global default value. so not setting the classpath to a default is normal. if you want to set this to a global default value -- i.e. because all users have to use one and the same version of a lib -- than you should consult the login procedure of the shell used. > also, I need to seet JAVA_HOME to an appropriate value -- is this > /usr/share/j2sdk1.3 ? i dont know the installation of the blackdown package. but setting the java home to /usr/share/j2sdk1.3/ makes only sense if there is a bin directory in there. and this should contain the javaX tools.
