Well if you show me yours I suppose I have got to show you mine ;o)

foo@bar:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin$ ll
total 3160

... snip more progs ...

foo@bar:/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_04/bin$ ./java -version
bash: ./java: No such file or directory

foo is a member of group staff but the problem is the same if I try and run it 
as root.

Odd isn't it?
