Suse Linux programming

[ojo_negro]

So I'm using the current version of Suse Linux and I can't get it to compile any programs. Right noe the most important to me is Java and when I type Javac into the terminal it responds command not found. Yes I have checked and Java is installed on my computer. Any suggestions?

As I am more of a Windows programmer, and don't play around on Linux as much as I should, I can only give you help for things that helped me on Windows, with hopes that they will correspond to your problems.

I had the same problem when I was first learning Python and trying to compile it in Command Prompt, I solved the problem by "cd"ing into the Python directory, then trying to run the command again. See if that helps.

Fucking same shit happened to me on my Windows partition just last week. I've never really messed with Java, but I thought I'd try. Couldn't get it to compile shit so i tried reinstalling a 64 bit version, and it fucked everything up. Long story short I ended up just using Ubuntu.

You need to make sure it's in your environment variables, if it's not, it won't know the command.

Ok so I changed my enviroment variables with the link you gave me and it is the same response as before. Could it be that my Java is in my root folder and I need to change my permissions to access it?

I think it should be in /usr/bin something... that's usually where it is.
How did you install it?
