But with the help of this list, I was able to set up the java environment correctly and was pleased with the results. Then I received my Breezy CDs and had it installed on another PC. The same issue of the correct java environment came up again. I thought that based on my experience from Warty I could applied some of it to sort my problem out. Alas, I find that I can't get fakeroot to convert the jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin to a deb package so I can install java using dpkg - command. As suggested in the wiki, I tried DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i386-linux fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i596.bin and still it is unsuccessful. The default java command from the output of the 'update-alternatives --config java' command is: /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java. There are no alternatives for the javac command. Now I had installed java manually under /usr/local and set my JAVA_HOME environment to point to /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_06 This still does not have any effect. i.e I cannot get it to point to /usr/local/jkd1.5.0_06/bin/java. If I set the javac alternatives from the /etc directory, the system tells me that there are no alternatives for javac. So I in fact have two problems: 1. I cannot install java using the Debian way i.e using fakeroot 2. I cannot get the system to point to the manually installed java directory even after the correct environment is set. It seems that the default Ubuntu installation has precedence over the manual installation. I have downloaded the eclipse software which I am trying to test on the platform but so far there is no correct java environment to enable the testing. The wiki on java is of some help but unfortunately could not work readily for my case although some of the problems described there applied to my system. Some input on these would help sort the problem out as was the case when I used Warty. By the way, all the java files are downloaded from the Sun site.
