You've got a Debian Linux installation, right?

If so, you'll need to check /etc/alternatives, and probably read the
Debian java policy.  The installed java (and usually the compiler) is a
shell script which sets up a classpath; you may have to tweak it (or
untweak someone else's tweaks).  Debian (if it is Debian) ships with a
1.1 JDK, for instance, and unless you pick up the appropriate upgrade
.debs, things will be hairy.

And now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain; someone's on the
bathroom floor, doing her cocaine; someone's got his finger on the button in
some room--no one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom.
