Many thanks. 1) RTFM :-) 2) Sorry if I'm offering bad assistance here, because I haven't installed the 1.1.5 version yet, but here goes anyway (sorry also for any browser paragraph mangling that occurs). Install the package file (I guess its a .tar.gz?) to /usr/local/jdk I guess. Your classpath is the location (path) of the 'classes.zip' file and other class libraries you require. For instance, by installing to /usr/local/jdk, your classpath would probably be: setenv CLASSPATH "/usr/local/jdk/lib/classes.zip", although I could be wrong about the lib subdirectory. Often your CLASSPATH needs to also include the current directory '.', and maybe other class libraries you've developed (so setenv CLASSPATH ".:$CLASSPATH"). Your PATH envirovariable needs to include the binaries that come with the JDK, so update this. e.g. add /usr/local/jdk/bin to your path (or I think it may be /usr/local/jdk/i386/bin). Failing all this, go to 1). Hope it helps (even with all the inconsistencies with shells etc.) :-) Joe Shevland joe.shevland@horizonti.com
