Hi (it's me again),

I have downloaded a program and now I'm trying to install it
when I get the following error message...

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Preparing to install...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...
No Java virtual machine could be found from your PATH
environment variable.  You must install a VM prior to
running this program.
------------------------------------------------------------------

Yet I have installed Java j2sdk1.4.2

[root at redhat90 chris]# rpm -qa j*
joystick-1.2.15-15
jwhois-3.2.1-1
jadetex-3.12-9
jfsutils-1.0.17-6
j2sdk-1.4.2_03-fcs   <---


and I have it installed on /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_03

Does this mean I have to also install another version?

Where and how do I check the PATH?
