Hi.. I have installed java in the following folder /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06 in linux, may i know whether i should create JAVA_HOME variable like windows do ?? If I want to add the following entries JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06 where should I add ?? /etc/profile ? I added but it doesn't appear in ENV after I relogin Besides, may I know where can i change the entry order of the following ENV parameter? PATH=/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/root/bin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
