The easiest way to get around this is by using ./javac (instead of javac). This will execute the javac in your current working directory. For example: $ cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin $ ./javac Test.java This has the disadvantage of working only in that directory. If you are in another directory and want to call javac, then you can give the absolute path. For example: $ /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin/javac Test.java You may want to consider adding /usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin (or whatever the location of your java executables) to you PATH, so that javac can be found no matter what directory you're in, and you don't have to give a the absolute path to it every time.
