  I understand that it should be /.bash_profile but this does not seem to work 
  when I add the java reference. Here is that file:

  # .bash_profile

  # Get the aliases and functions
  if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
          . ~/.bashrc
  fi

  # User specific environment and startup programs

 
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/lib:$HOME/j2sdkee1.3.1/bin:/usr/local/apache2/bin:/root/pointbase/tools/server
  BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
  USERNAME="root"
  J2EE_HOME=$HOME/j2sdkee1.3.1

  export USERNAME BASH_ENV PATH J2EE_HOME

  I get the following when I type j2ee -version:

  [root@l... root]# j2ee -version
 
/root/j2sdkee1.3.1/bin/j2ee:/java/re/jdk/1.3.1_02/latest/binaries/linux-i386/bin/java:

  No such file or directory

  Any ideas?

Hello Scott


i know your problem, i have had the same! I am running RedHat 8.0
and i wanted to compile my java programs right ahead with "javac"
without specifying the PATH each time i logged on my session as a
user, even though i am the root too. 

Let me explain to you quickly what you need to do in order to have
your .bash_profile configured in a manner that you won't have to worry
about javac anymore, because each time you will log on, you should be 
able to compile right away.


(here is how .bash_profile looks like at default)
-------------------------------------------------
.bash_profile 

 # .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/bashrc
fi

#user specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:/$HOME/bin  

export PATH
unset USERNAME
-------------------------------------------------


*(scott, do not change this PATH to the $HOME/bin,
because otherwise, you won't be able to log in as
a user. Because the Home/Bin contains everything 
about you destop environment). *******

in my case, because i am using jsdk1.2.2, and because
i installed it in /usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin

then, what i did is put a path to that directory, save
.bash_profile and reboot the system. and it works fine.
Tough, i spend 4 hour just to do that because i tried
dozens of syntaxes and locations, .bashrc, bashrc, profile,
etc...

Anyway, go to your Home/Scott/  and emacs .bash_profile

then replace the export PATH by

export PATH=/usr/local/jsdk1.3.1/bin

and save your bash_profile.

your .bash_profile should look like this:
---------------------------------------------------------
.bash_profile 

 # .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/bashrc
fi

#user specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:/$HOME/bin  

export PATH=/usr/local/jsdk1.3.1/bin/:$PATH
unset USERNAME
---------------------------------------------------------

Scott, i recommend you to move your jsdk1.3.1 directory 
from your $Home/Scott directory to the /usr/local directory.
The reason to that is that once the configurations are set,
any user on your system will be able to compile java programs.

like for example your .bash_profile, you should delete some
lines:

--------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/local/apache2/bin:/root/pointbase/tools/server

export PATH=/usr/j2sdk1.3.1/bin/:$PATH
unset USERNAME 
---------------------------------------------------------

and don't forget to save the changes and reboot your system,
so that the changes take effect. don't worry about the source
command.


best regards!
