Yes, getting JAVA set-up is a pain. First thing: check to make sure
that the "java" binary that you are using is the one that you just
installed. Most distros do have some sort of java installed (maybe as
part of the browser?). Type 'which java' and 'java -version' (only one
dash), to make sure that when you type 'java', you are not running an
old 1.1.8 somewhere on your harddrive.
