java on linux (no class error)

Hello, sorry for the dumb question, java in windows works fine, but i can't get it to work in linux, can some one help me?

Java version:

java version"1.5.0_08"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_08-b03)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_08-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

echo $PATH (It's a mess)

/home/68x/.dist/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games:.::.:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/:.:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin:.:/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin
