I would like to set install fop and need to know how to set up the
variable JAVA_HOME. Specifically, the directions state:
You have to set the enviroment variable JAVA_HOME. It must point to your local JDK root directory.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
As root, edit /etc/profile to include the line
export JAVA_HOME=/wherever/you/installed/it
I don't know about all distros, but it may be a better idea
to put it in /etc/profile.local instead. SuSE, for example,
actually starts /etc/profile with the comment
# PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE /etc/profile. There are chances that your changes
# will be lost during system upgrades. Instead use /etc/profile.local for
# your local settings,
I am sure someone will chime in with additional places it
can be set.
