If the directories referred to in the message no longer exist then there
is a good chance you don't have the Java Virtual Machine (I hope I got this
right) installed at all and it wouldn't work any way.

In any case, there is a good chance you have an environment variable for
CLASSPATH.  Try entering the command 'echo $CLASSPATH' at the command
prompt and see what you get.  If you get a list of directories, then
the variable must be initialized in one of the resource files in your
home directory (.bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile) or system wide files
in the /etc directory.  Take a look at those to modify the values for the
CLASSPATH environment variable, or for a temporary modification enter the
following at the prompt:

export CLASSPATH /dir1:/dir2...

I guess that should work, but I don't even have Java installed on my
system.  Hopefully somebody else will answer your message soon.
