Re: [Jython-users] Need help configuring Linux in order to install Jython

[Kevin J. B. <kev...@bi...>]

This is really a unix shell question.  :-)

It sounds like you haven't added /usr/local/java/bin to your current environment.

Try either:

1) PATH=/usr/local/java/bin:$PATH; export PATH
(and add this line to your .bashrc file)

or

2) ln -s /usr/local/java/bin/java /usr/local/bin
(and repeat for javac and any other java executables you want).

or

3) source FULL_PATH_TO_THE_FILE/java-rmi.cgi
(and add this to your .bashrc file)
