Running Java Problem
I am new to Java. Here is my problem I get the error message when I try to run javac. I have jdk1.6.0_06 loctaed in my program files/Java. I checked and I have javac located in the bin of the jdk1.60_06 file. I tried changing the path to c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin but still get the error. Is this the wrong path?
ASKER
Where will that be found?
Go to Start | Run. Type CMD. Press Enter. Type the command in the new screen. Press Enter after you type it.
Also, see this Java article:
Setting the class path
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/classpath.html
Try following the steps there to see if that fixes the problem for you.

I typed echo %PATH% into the command prompt and the following was displayed:
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin; C:\GMX
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin;
What were the results of trying the steps outlined in the linked article?
Then you should be able to execute javac at the command line too
ASKER
I didn't think I had to change the class path.
My class path is currently set to: .;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_02\lib \ext\QTJav a.zip.

This is what I tried: "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>javac " and then enter. I am still getting the same error message. Am I typing it wrong?

*In the same command window* can you do
echo %PATH%
?

Yes,
I even closed it and opened a new window. I typed the echo %PATH% (which displayed the same message above) and then javac on the next line.
Still got the same error.

Does
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin\ javac.exe
exist?
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin\
exist?

Your current class path is set to use the Java Runtime Edition 1.5.0 => jre1.5.0_02
Yet you indicate you are using jdk1.6.0_06
At the command prompt, what is the result if you type SET and press Enter?

The issue is nothing to do with the classpath
In a command prompt window, type this exact command and then press enter. Post the results back here:
dir c:\javac.exe /s
dir c:\javac.exe /s
Path should be:
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin
try also running it directly
"c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin \javac"
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin
try also running it directly
"c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin
Are you sure that the directory is
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin
and not
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin ?
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_0\bin
and not
c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin
ASKER
Krak,
after inputting dir c:\javac.exe/s the following was shown:
Volume in drive C has no label
Volume Serial NUmber is d006-e60e
after inputting dir c:\javac.exe/s the following was shown:
Volume in drive C has no label
Volume Serial NUmber is d006-e60e
ASKER
I got ahead of myself. Also after inputting the above command this also showed up:
Directory of c:\Program Files\Java\jsk1.6.0\bin
3/25/2008 2:17 AM 25,600 javac.exe
1 file(s) 25,600bytes
0 dir(s) 49,961,308,160 bytes free

0 dir(s) 49,961,308,160 bytes free
did u try running it directly (by entering the full path) as I suggested above?
ASKER
yes I tried running the full path and this is what came up:
c:\Program is not recgonized as an internal or external command opertable program or batch file
c:\Program is not recgonized as an internal or external command opertable program or batch file
you'll need to quote it as it contains spaces.
(also quote it in your path)

I included the quotes and a whole bunch of stuff came up;

ok, that worked.
you should just be able to correct your path and it should work ok,

ASKER
I changed the path to exactly that. When I go into a new command prompt, I just type in javac, correct?
I did this and still get the same error.

did u quote it?
ASKER
yes
what is your path now?
echo $PATH
echo $PATH
sorry, echo %PATH%
ASKER
You meant echo %PATH% correct?
"c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin \javac";C: \GMX
"c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_06\bin
how ru setting the PATH?

thats correct, good work :)

Wow that was it, do I feel dumb. Two days of going over it and it was just one word I had to change in the PATH.
Thank you so much for the help, you rock.
