Support and other more or less useful things

THIS IS AN OLD PAGE...


We encourage our students to put their work on the world wide web. To do this they will of course require some tools which limit the work for putting their material on the web. This page endeavours to provides some information (or links) about these tools.
 

Java JDK1.2.2 for Linux

Finally I got some Java installed on our systems. You can find the jdk1.2.2 under two directories : /usr/shared/jdk1.2.2 or /usr/shared/java/.

You have to change your path in order to make sure that you are indeed using the correct version of the software. Edit your .cshrc.local and put the following line in it: set path = (/usr/shared/java/bin $path) [!!! in the previous line "java" can be replaced by "jdk1.2.2" ]. For this modification to take effect your either open a new terminal or type soucre .cshrc.local in your current terminal.
