Just wanted to know how to configure the "set" value. For example the set path for java is /bin/lib/java, how would I be able to change that to say /usr/local/java. . . . .

If I understand you correctly, I think you want to use a different copy of java (or whatever) than the one that runs when you type java. The way to do this is using the PATH variable. The way it works is that when you run a command, linux will search the PATH variable, looking in each of the specified directories for an executable file matching the name you typed.

So, if you want to use /usr/local/java instead of /bin/lib/java, then make sure that /usr/local appears in the path before /bin/lib.

Basically the issue I'm having is that I'm trying to install Open-Xchange-0.8. . . . it searches for mail.jar, activation.jar . . . . in the /bin/lib/javac directories. So how do I set it so it checks the proper directory that java was installed in. Is this something I have to configure with Open-Xchange or is this something to do with PATH variable as you mentioned above. Thanx

Ah right, I understand now. It's similar to what my earlier post said, but it's the CLASSPATH variable you need to adjust (the CLASSPATH variable controls where java looks for it's libraries & class files). You need to adjust the CLASSPATH so that it searches the correct directories. You can use the command

to view what it's currently set to. To change it, use the command

or whatever the correct directories are; if there is more than one directory, separate them with a colon. (eg /usr/local/lib:/usr/lib).

If you want this setting to persist, you'll need to put the export statement into your shell init file (probably .bashrc).
