hello recently i’ve tried to setup tomcat in suse but it turn out to be very difficult.
I do know that after I’ve unziped tomcat i need to tell the tomcat where the JRE has been installed.
in some forums it turned out that I shoul access mine .bashrc file but the “gedit ~/.bashrc” didnt worked and i didnt know where to find this file the only file that i found is bash.bashrc situated into mine /etc.
I dont know if this is the file that i need to change at end by typing “export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.6.0_16”.

i did not know anything about tomcat
but ~/.bashrc in opensuse have this location
~>ls ~/.bashrc
/home/user/.bashrc
this is mine one wo my stuff
# Sample .bashrc for SuSE Linux
# Copyright (c) SuSE GmbH Nuernberg
# There are 3 different types of shells in bash: the login shell, normal
shell
# and interactive shell. Login shells read ~/.profile and interactive shells
# read ~/.bashrc; in our setup, /etc/profile sources ~/.bashrc - thus all
# settings made here will also take effect in a login shell.
#
# NOTE: It is recommended to make language settings in ~/.profile rather
than
# here, since multilingual X sessions would not work properly if LANG is
over-
# ridden in every subshell.
# Some applications read the EDITOR variable to determine your favourite
text
# editor. So uncomment the line below and enter the editor of your choice
:-)
#export EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim
#export EDITOR=/usr/bin/mcedit
# For some news readers it makes sense to specify the NEWSSERVER variable
here
#export NEWSSERVER=your.news.server
# If you want to use a Palm device with Linux, uncomment the two lines
below.
# For some (older) Palm Pilots, you might need to set a lower baud rate
# e.g. 57600 or 38400; lowest is 9600 (very slow!)
#
#export PILOTPORT=/dev/pilot
#export PILOTRATE=115200
so you could create new one
~>touch ~/.bashrc
and edit it with your favorite editor then restart bash, thats all
strange, very strange…i copy and pasted your “gedit ~/.bashrc”
(without the quotes) into an Alt+F2 pop up and it worked here, perfectly…
i wonder if you are signed into KDE (or whatever) as root??
and, what operating system are you using? is it openSUSE or SUSE
Enterprise Linux Desktop or Server (aka: SLED or SLES)
my java home is: JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java so i wonder where you
got, and how you installed your java??
not to mention: WHY are you unzipping tomcat?? unzipping is NOT
involved in installing tomcat!!!
oh, i look at your profile and i see you just joined these fora ten
days ago and have only made three posts…WELCOME…but, i wonder if
you are trying to install stuff using normal Windows[tm] or Mac[tm]
procedures? if so, you need to STOP, you are shooting yourself in
the head, never mind the foot…and machine over and over…
i can’t be sure which one is most important to BEGIN with…but, i
guess you need to read HOW to install software in “Concepts”…before
you have to reinstall to correct all the tangled wires you may have
introduced…
a little reading will save you lots of wheel spinning time…

it is possible that OP ha no gedit installed in system, for example if he
use KDE
if so you can try “kate ~/.bashrc” insted of gedit
but if you open any terminal and type there
cat ~/.bashrc
you will see for sure, have you this file or not.
and then will be next questions
