Re: [ jEdit-users ] install fun

[Iain H. <ih...@cs...>]

Hi Justin,

You need either have java in your path or you need to set the JAVA_HOME
environment variable to the location where you installed java.

If you aren't sure where you installed java then

   find / -name "java"

should show you where it is.
You are looking for something like

   /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2

To set the JAVA_HOME environment variable use

   export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2  (or whatever it was)

To add the location of java to your path use

   export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/bin

You should put the 2 export lines above into your bash initialisation
files (e.g. a file called .bashrc in your home directory)

Cheers,
Iain
