I haven't been able to find a package labled specifically JDK for Linux. Most of the stuff I've found is either labled SDK or Jre so I just assume that the JDK is included in these packages. When I run javac HelloWorld.java I get the following like the one I got while trying to compile ANT. /opt/IBMJava2-13/bin/exe/javac: error while loading shared libraries: cannot open shared object file: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory My be you could recommend something that you've seen work on Redhat 7.1.

I'm not sure why the javac is there but it was my understanding that the jre is for executing .class files Can you compile a HelloWorld.java program using javac? /bill public class HelloWorld { public static void main(String [] arg) { System.out.println("I exist"); } }
