Hi Ed!
I presume that you are referring to Sun's jdk. In this case if you've
installed it under /usr/local, then you should have a directory called
"jdk1.5.0_06" (or similar :).
The problem with your setup is that the binaries aren't in your PATH.
You have a lot of options, and I'm going to write just a few:
- Adjust your path (refer to your shell's documentation in order to make it
permanent) to contain "/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_06/bin" and
"/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/bin"
- Symlink the executables to a directory which is searched after binaries
(usually /usr/local/bin). (mixing this with creating a symlink
under /usr/local/ named java which points to your jdk1.5.0_06 directory, will
have the advantage of not braking the symlinks of you install a newer version
of sun's java, you just have to redirect the java symlink)
There are of corse plenty other possibilities which you can adopt...
HTH,
Daniel
