You appear to be wanting to use Sun's java. However, installing the jdk-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.rpm RPM won't by default put java(c) in the path.
You can see this with java -verison.
Please download from jpackage.org java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.08-1jpp.noarch.rpm
This is a wrapper that will place java and javac in the path and correctly modify all the jpackage file locations.
You can download it directly from

I've installed jdk-1_5_0_08-linux-i586.rpm and Tomcat.
Working through some initial test install programs, I am finding that I can't seem to compile .java files into classes.
For instance...
javac -classpath /usr/local/tomcat/common/lib/servlet.jar HelloWorld.java
as instructed fails with a
gij: unrecognized option -- `-classpath' Try `gij --help' for more information.
So then I notice there is no servlet.jar file, but instead a servlet-api.jar.. I change the command and it fails with the same problem. Trying the command without the -class and without the path fails with path errors. So it's sort of like this -classpath switch is either pathed wrong somewhere or is deprecated?
This is on a CentOS 3 server. Anybody run into this? Do you have a solution?
