Inability to find JDK tools such as javac means the path to your
JDK installation directory has not been placed into PATH.
In one of your startup scripts, like .bashrc, say something like:
JAVA_HOME=<absolute path to JDK install directory>; export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin; export PATH
Some tools do not use JAVA_HOME, but PATH is always required.
So it may be sufficient just to say
PATH=$PATH:<absolute path to JDK install directory>/bin; export PATH
(Don't forget the "/bin")
Hope this helps.
