Hi friends, I am trying to run Sun's Java on my Machine. I downloaded j2sdk-1_4_1_03-linux-i586.bin and then chmod 777 and then ran ./j2......bin finally it extracted j2sdk1.4.1_03 in my /usr/local directory. Now when I go to /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_03/bin as superuser and write a java file and compile using javac javac abc.java java abc it runs fine. But when I add a paths,classpath or without adding paths,classpath try to compile and run same files from any other directory like: /root like this: /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_03/bin/javac abc.java it compiles fine /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_03/bin/java abc I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: testing As I use Red Hat 9 I have another java /usr/bin/java [root@xxxxxxxxx root]# java -version java version "1.3.1" jdkgcj 0.2.3 (http://www.arklinux.org/projects/jdkgcj) gcj (GCC) 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5) So may be there is some interference with this java. I really fail to understand that. Earlier I had set path like this in /etc/profile.d/java.sh JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_03 PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/lib:$CLASSPATH export JAVA_HOME PATH CLASSPATH But after I ran the above script I was getting the same error in this directory also /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_03/bin/ Someone any suggestions?
