It has been so long since I have done a fresh install of fedora, I have forgotten all about the alternatives confusion. Thanks Eric.

You can always force the JAVA_HOME to the installation directory of the jdk and include ${JAVA_HOME}/bin early in your PATH environment variable

Hi Eric,
Wow, yeah, I have been wrestling to get things active. I will follow your path! Thanks!

If you are using Fedora, then you probably have a lot of OpenJDK stuff clogging the works. I'm running Fedora as well and I had to do a bunch of stuff with alternatives in order to get OpenJDK out of my common path stuff. If you google for "Fedora alternatives" there are descriptions about what it is and how to use it. The thousand-foot view is that it is a symlink management system that you need to use to swap the java-related symlinks from pointing to OpenJDK stuff to pointing to sun jvm stuff.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for following up. Actually, I have, also have Hadoop 19.1 downloaded. However, I have put the project on the sideline for now. My energy is totally consumed with dissertation writing! I can't wait to get back to the Hadoop and computer science learning though.
guidance, Mark

Have you made any progress.

In your prior email you reference ~download and ~Download
filenames are case sensitive on linux machines.
If you did in fact type them correctly you have 2 different directorys.
