Hi Steve,
Once you have done the rpm installation, you can manually check that
java has been installed to /usr/java/j2sdk[version]/
(please ignore your jre for now as it is not needed by tomcat)
Now set up the environment variables like so;
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk[version]
export JAVA_HOME
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
(You can place these in /etc/profile.local on SuSe when you know it
works.)
You can test java and javac at the command line.
If you install tomcat you will also probably need ANT - both Tomcat
and ANT have their own environment variables that need set (see
install docs).
You will also need to set a CLASSPATH environment variable if you put
any java classes in non-standard places.
I hope this helps...
best,
Danny

Did this for both the JRE and JDK. Should this set the
$JAVA_<whatever> environment vars or do I need to set them manually?
I'm still confused as to why nothing appeared to happen when I tried
to install with YaST??
Steve
Thats not strictly true about ignoring the JRE as the JDK incorporates
the JRE and that's what is used to run Java programmes.
Not meaning to be anal about it, but i have had problems in the past
where I have had things trying to call the wrong version of java and
left me scratching my head wondering whats wrong :)
An easy way to check is with `which java` which will show you which
binary is being called by showing the full path.
