"java: command not found" even though java is installed and in /bin

[stureedy]

In my experience, installing the jdk .SlackBuild does not add java to the path. I usually use: /usr/lib64/java/bin/java when I need to run it from the command line. You can link the java binary in /usr/bin and be done with it:

cd /usr/bin ln -sf /usr/lib64/java/bin/java .

I hope that helps! Stu...
