I installed java but I am not sure if I setup the environment variable correctly. I searched on how to set JAVA_HOME but got conflicting answers.

Here is what I did. I edited '/etc/profile' and included this:

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jdk1.6.0_13"
export JAVA_HOME

Is that right?

thanks

You should find under /etc/profile.d/
jre.sh, jre.csh and jdk.sh jdk.csh, alter those.
Any reason you want to change /usr/lib/jdk to /usr/lib/jdk1.6.0_13?

I downloaded jdk from slackware.com and installed it. The directory name is the long one I put in the file.

thanks for the help

It should create the symlink to /usr/lib/jdk, you can always created it your own if slackware package don't.
