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

[Joseph S. <ten...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have setup a dual boot machine running Windows95 alongside with Linux
Mandrake 7.2.  I've successfully downloaded Java2 SDK 1.4 from
http://www.blackdown.org, but I'm having a difficulty configuring Java
and installing Jython.  I have downloaded the Jython-21.class and I am
following the commands, but bash is complaining about the command
'java'.  The difficulty arose from the 2.0 gig partition limit under
Win95, so I installed Java2 on a different partition, the Linux img file
takes more than 1.0 gigabyte and alongside with Windows there's hardly
any space left to do anything useful.  Because Java does not reside in
the typical /usr/local directory, I need to configure the PATH,
JAVA_HOME, and CLASSPATH variables along with a couple config files.
Using the 'export' command, I thought I did everything correctly, but
I'm still not able to install Jython. Should I edit the ~/.bashrc file
directly? The j2sdk-config file shows PATH=/bin:/usr/bin, the
java-rmi.cgi also shows PATH=/usr/local/java/bin:$PATH and there are
other files that show the same.  At this point I realize that not
installing in the /usr/local/java directory was a mistake, but running
out of space, I had no choice.  Any suggestions will be most welcome.

Sincerely,

Joseph Schiller
