the file profile exist under /etc which sets all environment. so if you would like to add a enviroment,JAVA_HOME it is possible, you can add it as you have it below, or just add the JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01 and on the export line add the JAVA_HOME. You will also see the where the path is specified, add JAVA_HOME to it. to uninstall the rpm, use the command "rpm -e" to remove it. You must give it the exact package name " type "rpm -qa |grep jdk" There might be some dependencies to resolve, you can either uninstall packages, or add the "--nodeps" to your command to ignore dependency. "rpm -e --nodeps jdk-som-som" ps. there is an active web group to help with all sort of install and configuration Linux question, www.experts-exchange.com you might find it very useful.

I would like to remove the RPM preinstalled old version of Java. I don't know the name of this rpm and how to uninstall it. I would like to istall the Sun's version J2SE (jdk-1.3.1_01). For this, one suggested for setting up the new jdk, is to create a script uniquely named in the "/etc/profile.d/" directory and set the environment variables in there. e.g. <start>#!/bin/shexport JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_01 export CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/rt.jar export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin <end> Any suggestions for how to remove the preinstalled Java? Thanx for all replies. _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
