Cannot locate Java Compiler on my RH Linux System

Thread view:

masood.iqbal@lycos.com - 29 Dec 2006 16:08 GMT

I downloaded the following self-extracting RPM from
http://www.java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp:

jre-1_5_0_10-linux-i586-rpm.bin

I installed the Java Runtime Environment and it proceeded without a
hitch. Although I can see that the Java Virtual Machine has been
installed, I am just not able to locate the Java Compiler (javac). Am
I missing something? Do I need to install some other RPM?

The details of my system are as follows:

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:18:24 EST 2003
i686 athlon
i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks,
Masood

The compiler is not part of the JRE. You need the JDK (Java Development
Kit).
