installing J2SE SDK 1.4.2 on testing
I'm having a problem getting Sun's J2SE 1.4.2 SDK installed on an
updated testing.
I am attempting to follow the Java FAQ:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/
However, when I get to the final step, doing a test run of java does not
work:
# java -v
bash: java: command not found
So I investigate:
# echo $PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
# ls -ld /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Apr 30 23:12 /usr/bin/java ->
/etc/alternatives/java
# ls -ld /etc/alternatives/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 27 Apr 30 23:12
/etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/local/lib/jdk/bin/java
# ls -ld /usr/local/lib/jdk/bin/java
ls: /usr/local/lib/jdk/bin/java: No such file or directory
*BUT*
# ls -ld /usr/local/lib/jdk
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 28 Apr 30 22:51
/usr/local/lib/jdk -> /usr/local/lib/j2sdk1_4_1_02
*AND*
# ls -ld /usr/local/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/java
-rwxrwxr-x 1 haricothoriz www-data 24596 Feb 24 10:25
/usr/local/lib/j2sdk1.4.2_04/bin/java
What's going wrong here?
Thanks,
Kevin Murphy
