Here is a simple test: As the user that you're looged on do the following 1) find / -name java -print
watch for the absoloute path it returns, if any 2) echo $PATH
if the $PATH environment variable returns a path to the java binary, you're on your way. If option 1) returns a blank, then the binary is not installed. If option one returns a hit, but option 2) does not returns a similar path, you need to append this to your PATH; such that
export PATH=$PATH:path_to_the_java_binary

hello everyone,
Does anyone know a system administrator at Bishop Grandin by the Name of Mrs.Hughes? She says she is friends one of the more knowledgeable members of CLUG.Anyway, the two of us are going in halfseys on a new Debian distro, so I'll be ditching this ancient Redhat OS pretty soon anyway.
I am having trouble, however, with installing a java plugin. I load the rpm.bin file on the terminal and it installs, and then in my nautilus folder, I find a nice rpm file.But when I click it, it tells me that "jre" is already installed.The problem is, I can't use java, and when I plug "jre" into the bash prompt, it tells me the command doesn't exist.
it is the latest version.
any help you could give me would be great.
thanks,
Patrick Shannon
