Unfortunately, I don't think I have ever seen this documented on general java sites. > I also created JMOL_HOME and a link in my bin directory to jmol. OK ...

I don't know who is putting out that message. ** 2 minutes later ** this java forum discusses other people having this problem http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=212725&messageID=174250 I have a directory tree under /etc/.java Looking at the j*.rpm.bin file that I installed from, I see that the script explicitly created a directory structure at the time that I installed. I assume that you installed your java rpm as root ... I suggest that you reinstall your java su # grep in next line might be jre ... whatever they called it when you # installed the 1.4.? jre on your system rpm -qa | grep jdk rpm --erase jdk cd /path/to/your/download/directory ls -l j*.rpm.bin chmod +x j*.rpm.bin ./j*.rpm.bin ^D then ls -ld /etc/.java If that directory does *not* exist, then I would download another jre, either 1.4.2_0? or 1.5.0_? After doing this su cd /usr/java rm home ln -s jWhatever home ^D Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
