Hi!

Please reply to the list, not as personal mail.

Apologies, don't know what happened, I intended it to go to the list. I know it's shell dependent. I did ". ~/.bashrc" followed by "echo $CLASSPATH" in the same shell and it just returned the prompt. Only after the reboot did it report the CLASSPATH and as expected on all tabs in konsole. I shall watch out for this in future in case the tools are not working properly - e.g:- a couple of us have had a similar problem with a USB device in Ubuntu and Kubuntu 10.04 that was only cured by a reboot - very unusual as udevadm indicated everything was OK. Regards Sid.

I have the following in ~/.bashrc and wonder if it's correct. "echo $CLASSPATH" only returns the prompt. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mybin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0/jre/bin:/opt/netbeans/bin:/opt/arm-2009q3/bin

export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0" export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-1.6.0-sun-1.6.0 Regards Sid.

Perhaps you need the quotes like you do with the JAVA_HOME variable

No.

I expected "source ~/.bashrc" to have set it up on the fly, but I had to do a reboot for it to take effect - that's very odd in the Linux/Unix world.

It works only in the shell in which you sourced the .bashrc. And all processes (including terminals and shells) that inherit from that shell.

One other thing I noticed, there is no classes.zip file, perhaps not needed in the current versions of java?

Did you check the -devel package? The -devel package is the JDK, the other is only the JRE. AFAIR the classes.zip is only part of the JDK, isn't it?

Regards, Bernhard
