Hmm... Its working with the following bashrc file, without doing anything to the bash_profile file: # .bashrc PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_03/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_04 ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="root" export USERNAME ENV PATH # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi I tested it by installing Arachnophilia, although I still can't get LimeWire installed. I appreciate everyone's help in this, now I don't have to reboot into Windows to run my java programs. :-) On Mon, 2003-08-25 at 20:11, Kevin Brown wrote: > .bashrc is supposed to be used by non login shells, whereas > .bash_profile is supposed to be used for login shells (at least that is > how the debian box I set up at work described them). > > > Wouldn't that be placed in the bashrc file? > > > > On Mon, 2003-08-25 at 19:41, Bart Garst wrote: > > > >>It depends on which shell you use. > >> > >>For bash you would add to '~/.bash_profile': > >>PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_01/bin > >>export PATH > >> > >>Bart > >> > >> > >>On Mon, 2003-08-25 at 19:33, David Huerta wrote: > >> > >>>>I used the j2sdk-1_4_1_01-linux-i586.bin package from Sun.
