Ok, Ok, calm down Robert ... I've been in the same position as you many
times before. I should have known from your email that you're a little new
to the environment. And I have to tell you that you'll probably get a lot
more frustrated before it finally becomes clear to you. I am going to try to
walk you through the whole process, but you have to be extremely patient.
1. OK, first, we're not even going to go near the glibc thing for 2 reasons
: it probably isn't your problem because you're using Sun's JDK and Suse,
and because it will take too long -- maybe another email
2. OK. I need you to confirm that Java is indeed installed inside your
system. I need you to open up your favorite text editor in Linux (are you
using KDE ? If you are, please use Advanced Editor instead of the plain
vanilla Text Editor. Reason is that files saved in Text Editor contain extra
formatting that may not be recognized by the system). Open /etc/profile
inside the editor. Look for a line that says : "PATH=xxxxxx". If your Sun
JDK is installed in /usr/local/Java2, for example, I need you to add the
following :
PATH=/usr/local/Java2/bin:/usr/local/Java2/lib:<other directories here>
Before closing the file, add the CLASSPATH, and export it. The last
statement in your /etc/profile should say something like :
export PATH BLAH-BLAH BLAH-BLAH
Before the export statement insert the CLASSPATH line and export statement :
CLASSPATH=/usr/local/jsdk/lib/jsdk.jar ----> This is assuming that jsdk.jar
exists inside /usr/local/jsdk/lib.
export CLASSPATH
and add the JAVA_HOME, just in case :
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/Java2
export JAVA_HOME
3. OK. Now save the file and reboot the system. The new /etc/profile should
take effect after the reboot.
4. After your system boots up, test your configuration. Open a terminal
window or at the command prompt type "java -showversion". If you get an
"Unknown commmand" message, either your Java binaries are not installed or
the system cannot find the "java" command. If this occurs, type : "echo
$PATH" and check if the path to your Sun JDK is there. For example, if your
Sun JDK is installed inside /usr/local/Java2, you should have
/usr/local/Java2/bin and /usr/local/Java2/lib inside your PATH. Check that
the typical java commands are in the path that you specified !! The system
will try to find the "java" command inside /usr/local/Java2/bin. If the
command isn't there, then of course java would not work properly (there is
an exception, but i don't even want to go into it at this point). Please
ensure that Java is indeed installed on your system !!
5. If your jsdk is indeed installed, try executing the "servletrunner" app.
I believe it is inside the /usr/local/jsdk/bin directory (though I could be
wrong-- it has been a looong while). Go to the directory where the
"servletrunner" command is and execute it like so :
./servletrunner
You should see a whole bunch of messages showing how the app is running and
which port it is using. If you get an error instead, you probably haven't
set the CLASSPATH correctly. To check your CLASSPATH, type : "echo
$CLASSPATH". If you see nothing, you have nothing in your CLASSPATH, check
your /etc/profile and ensure that the "export" statement is there.
6. If everything is successful, you can start compiling Apache JServ into
your Apache server software. You should have no problems...
Regards,
Chong Yu Meng
