DUH!!!! Stooopeeed me!!!

Okay, here's the deal. I'm the guy who posted earlier about setting your $PATH to the Java Virtual Machine.

1.) Assuming you have Sun's JRE installed, it would be in the following directory:

/usr/java/

The $PATH of course would be:

/usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin

2.) So now that we've established

$ echo $PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/sbin:/usr/java/jre1.3.1_02/bin

that java is in your $PATH you're 1/2 way there.
IF you have a version of kaffe on your system, remove it (as root):

$ rpm -q kaffe

IF you have any version on there then remove:

$ rpm -e kaffe

(Or use your favorite GUI package manager)
===============

This seems to be installed by default on Mandrake. It'll cause conflicts!

Querying the version of java I have:

$ rpm -q jre-1.3.1_02
jre-1.3.1_02-fcs

Shows I have the latest version (although I thought I saw jre-1.3.1_03 out somewhere).

Now it works! Yay!!! Time to send in my donation ...
