Compiling under linux suse

A couple of weeks ago I installed linux suse 10 just to discover a little bit more about linux.

Now I want to run my java programs from linux. I installed java, but if I comile the code in linux it gives some error I didn't have in windows. However Ssme programs do work in linux...but most don't

I think it has something to do with the version of java. In windows I use 1.5 and in linux it is still 1.4 though I installed the latest version from the official website.

Could this be the problem? Is the java 1.5 available for linux suse?

Sorry if I ask any stupid questions, as I've said before I'm new to java.

Errors can easily occur if compiling with 1.4 code written for 1.5.Sure 1.5 is available. Whether SUSE or other distro - it does not matter much.

OK thnx for ur response

I've now installed java 5.

But how can I compile & run my programs.?

If I type java or javac in the shell konsole it says: 'command not found'

If i go to the installdir/bin there are the java and javac etc files. How can I run them and make them start if I type java/javac in konsole?

Make yourself acquainted with the concept how a program is found and the role of the PATH environment variable. I am sure there are tutorials for Java beginners covering this topic too.
