The environment variable, CLASSPATH, contains a list of directories and Jars that contain java classes. For example in my .bashrc I have the following; export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.3.1 CLASSPATH=.:$JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/share/java/classes/crimson.jar CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/share/java/classes/postgresql.jar CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr2/home/jgrosch/MooseRiver/Java/Classes/mooseriver.jar CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/jakarta-tomcat3.3.1/lib/common/servlet.jar export CLASSPATH There needs to be an environment variable, JAVA_HOME which points to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1. Of course, /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin needs to be in the environment variable, PATH. Hope this helps. Josef -- == Copyright(c) 2002 by Josef Grosch.
