Hello, I am having problems using the java executable on my Debian system after unpacking the java SDK from a GZipped Tar file. Here are the steps I followed. I was logged in as root. 1. Unpacked IBMJava2-JRE-1.4.2-12.0.tar.gz to /opt/IBMJava2-142 2. Navigate to /opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin (which contains the java executable) 3. Placed a simple HelloWorld.class program in the above mentioned directory. 4. Try to run the program as follows: opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/java HelloWorld 5. I get this error: -bash: /opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/java: No such file or directory I know that the file is there as I do an ls on the opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin directory and can see the java executable showing up. I've tried numerous ways to fix this but always end up at the same outcome -- that error message. Does anybody have any ideas how I can fix this? Thank you for any input, Rakesh T.
