java in linux

[preethi Ayyappan]

Hi,
i have downloaded jdk-6u10-ea-bin-b09-linux-i586-19_dec_2007 in my linux machine and installed as per the installation instructions.Now it is installed in the path /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10.javac ,java are all inside the bin.but when i try to run the javac in the console,it displays the error:
-bash: javac: command not found.what is wrong here.

Thanks

You need to do this:

shellprompt$ export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin:$PATH

You have to set your Path environment to show where you have installed java.
If you use bash as your shell, then you would add the following line to the end of your .bashrc: export PATH=/path/to/java:$PATH

Here replace that path/to/java with the directory structure you have used

Thanks.I set the path like this:
[root@asterisk1 ~]# export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin:$PATH

its working.But if i try to compile a program which is in the path /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin,its not compiling.it displays the message

javac: file not found: HelloAGIScript.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

.
my path is correct? or i have to put $ infront of export?

Your path is correct now, but the file HelloAGIScript.java does not exist in the directory where you're running this.

Note that Linux is case-sensitive (Windows is not); so if the file is called helloAGIScript.java, for example, then that's not the same as HelloAGIScript.java.

Make sure you execute the command in the right directory and that you use the correct name for the source file.

thanks bala.i have done that. now javac is working.but when i try to run the java file which is in the same path ,it displays the message:

javac: file not found: HelloAGIScript.java
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

thanks.Now my file is compiling

Hi,I had given like this.It was compiled well.

[root@asterisk1 ~]#export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_10/bin:$PATH

.
But every time when i open the new console it is not working.it is working only after i export path every time i open the console.Am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

You need to add the "export PATH..." line to your .profile file in your user directory.

If you want this to be permanent for your userid, then add these lines to your:
$HOME/.profile if you are a ksh or sh user
$HOME/.bashrc if you are a bash user
