I haven't followed this thread. I hope the above path has a typo or two... (no /bin in path?) $ echo $PATH /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/mfratoni/bin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin To add the java path to your current PATH, you need to find where your java was installed. Probably /usr/java/some_version/, mine is in /usr/java/j2re1.4.1. Once you have the correct path: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin (The above assumes that java is in /usr/java/j2re1.4.1, of course.
