I basically copy/pasted your suggestion into .bash_profile and did the export $PATH .... I got this message back... bash: export: `/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin/:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jre-1_5_0_08/bin:/usr/lib/qt3//bin:/home/bill/bin:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_09/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/lib/qt3//bin': not a valid identifier
I did a 'which java' and got this back... /usr/lib/jre-1_5_0_08/bin/java Should I use the /usr/lib pointer instead?
