There are a very large number of Linux variants and we can't possibly cope
automatically with all of them. Let alone cope with the infinite user
preference possibilties. I think every installation will have a /usr/lib and
that in every case if one does a standard install (which includes only 6
simple steps) that it will work. If you want to do other than a standard
install then you need to know what you are doing and how your system is
built. The standard J install in linux does not require an export.
***** standard J linux 32 install
cd ~
tar -xzf [path to downloaded J package]/j601[version]_linux32.tar.gz
cd j601
sudo mv libj601.so /usr/lib/.
---- enter password as required
./jconsole or ./jw to run J
Unfortunately it doesn't get any simpler than this.

Subject: Re: [Jbeta] j.dll and libj601.so locations
Unlike window which is monolithic, there are several flavors of Linux. To
make life of Linux dummies (that's me) easier, will it be possible to
provide a clever shell script which automatically determine location of
/usr/lib and mv libj601.so to that place and do the export. Even better
if the shell script is already chmod +x right after unzipping so that just
double click it will do all magic.

In windows it is easy to have everything, including the j.dll, in the

libraries. This is not possible without a lot of extra mechanism in unix
and the best solution is to put the libj601.so (or libj601.dylib for
Mac) in a standard place such as /usr/lib.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}":/usr/local/j601/
or
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}":
if you whant to plase libj601.so in the application work dir
