Mine is JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk1.5.0_02 -- it's where the Java package was installed. 'find / -iname jre' will (probably) find it for you. > After installing all of these items to I need to start sometheing like a > daemon > to be able to have JVM? Having just recently gone through all that, it looks to me like the problem is that somebody doesn't know where some part of Jave is stored. There's no daemon; the "java" command *is* the JVM, but it needs to know where some things are. There's a document called Debian GNU/Linux Java FAQ at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ Section 11.1.2, Making Java 2 work in Debian, contains useful info about environment variables and /etc/alternatives. JAVA_HOME was one of them. After going through all the .deb stuff, with no joy, I gave up and got the Java 5 SDK package from Sun. It wasn't trivial for this noob++. I installed the Java 5 JDK from Sun, and it's working perfectly (so far)... -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
