Re: [PLUG] Java troubles

[Andrew Libby <andrew.libby@gmail.com>]

Hi Michael,

There are a variety of method for dealing with this.  The easiest of
which is
to reorder your path, rather than removing /usr/bin.  There are many useful
programs in /usr/bin that you'll be annoyed at not having in  your path
if you
remove it.

An easy way is probably to assign and export the PATH variable in your
.bash_profile
or .bashrc.

PATH=/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/home/michael/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
export PATH

Then you can either logout/ back in or type

. ~/.bash_profile
(or . ~/.bashrc if you edited that).

You setting up a java app, or dabbling in development?

Good luck Michael.
