This was the response:

[bryan@d206-116-45-87 bryan]$ echo $PATH
/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/jre-1.4.2_01/bin:/home/bryan/bin

[bryan@d206-116-45-87 bryan]$ locate java | grep bin
/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_01/jre/bin/java
/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_01/jre/bin/java_vm
/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_01/jre/javaws/javawsbin
[bryan@d206-116-45-87 bryan]$

Should {/usr/lib/jdk-1.4.2_01/jre/bin/java_vm} be added to the path? If
so, how is this done?

Thanks,
Bryan
