And /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java -version says java version "1.6.0_22" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.10.4) (rhel-1.42.1.10.4.el6_2-x86_64) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode) Maybe you do have to install java-1.6.0-openjdk if it hasn't been pulled in by something else - and it should set alternatives to use itself. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
