I'd rather not do this two or three times, as I don't have a high speed Internet connection. You say I need Sun Java to run the GUI version of J. Here's what my system responds when I enter java -version:

For you guys that are running the GUI already, let me know what your system responds when you enter java -version. Does it tell you it's the Sun version? Michael bill lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: J GUI must use sun java, not other implementations. For political reason sun java is not installed in some linux distributions (eg. ubuntu) and you have to install sun java yourself. try java -version again to verify sun java is installed, if not, install it first. after that you will have 2 (or 3?) versions of java implementation installed, so that you have to configure sun java as the default. I googled and found this link, http://www.fedorafaq.org/#java that might be helpful. PS. I've never use fedora so that my knowledge is limited. michael rice wrote: > Thanks.
