Hi
I am using Mandrake linux 10. I downloaded java with netbeans from Sun and i
installed it in /usr/local
Each time I type java I get an unknown command error.
I know that I need to make some modifications to some environmental
variable. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease can you tell me how can i do that?
I need to make it working so that every application that uses java (such as
Kdevelop or Openoffice) can find it.
