Not at all, I've been through the same trouble.  It's not easy stuff.
By
default, Ubuntu has Gnu Classpath set up for "java stuff".  When you
install
another Java package (Sun's Java, for as you've done), you need the Sun
"java" binary to be prior to Gnu Classpath's "java" binary in the
classpath,
or Gnu Classpath gets called instead of Sun's "java" binary.

I'm willing to bet if you type "java -version" you'll see the GCJ
output.  

Two possibilities:  
1) You installed using the extra repositories.
2) You installed by downloading the JDK yourself (perhaps using
java-package).

If you did 1), your environment has probably been set, and you simply
need
to log out and back in.  If you did 2), you need to set your environment
manually.  You will need to do something like this:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/
export PATH=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin:$PATH

After that, type "java -version", and you should no longer see the Gnu
classpath stuff, but rather the standard Sun output:
java version "1.5.0_05"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_05-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_05-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Dan:

Thanks so much for your help -- that solved it, and Jalbum is now
installing.

Could you please explain what I just did?  I have seen the export
command, but I don't think that I have ever used it before

Thanks
