I have javac in,
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/bin/javac
and so when I type in,
#/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/bin/javac
it recognizes that as a command.

But when I try to,
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/bin/javac
and then type,
javac
it says command not found.

What am I missing ??
Thanks.

Your path should only contain directories, not files.

Try:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_01/bin Perfection in engineering does not happen when there is nothing more to add. Rather it happens when there is nothing more to take away.
