I installed jre 1.6.0.27 version, but when I type java -version, it  
shows that I still have the 1.6.0.26. Why is that?

The ‘java’ first in your environment’s PATH variable is apparently being  
found before (or instead of) the 1.6.0\_27 JRE. You may need to  
explicitly set the path to your \*27 JRE to be found first… such as  
(not tested, probably wrong path… etc.):

export PATH=/usr/java/jre1.6.0\_27/bin:$PATH  
java -version

If you export PATH correctly you should see your version found first  
before other versions.

Good luck.

Yeah, I just wanted to add that to my post.

## Code:

which java  
/usr/bin/java

* * *

I checked directory. There are 3 folders: jre1.6.0\_27, default, and  
latest (‘default’ is the link to ‘latest’ which is link to ‘jre1.6.0\_27’  
I guess, I’m quite confused).

Okay, my bad… where does that point?

ls -l /usr/bin/java

If the result is somewhere like /etc/alternatives/java then find out  
where that one points and so on until you get to a real file.

Good luck.

So perhaps you should use /usr/sbin/update-alternatives to change the  
default. The export PATH statement I provided before should do the same  
thing so I think you did it incorrectly but this is another route to  
permanently change your entire system to default to the other Java  
implementation.

Good luck.

You know, I’ve actually checked GUI of java and it looks like there is  
a path for java 1.6.0\_27 set, but java -version still finds 26th  
version.

Further to this question, I was wondering if there was something wrong  
with my graphic drivers. Someone suggested installing open source  
drivers. Is there a possibility that they would solve the problem? How  
are they different? Where could I find them? How to install them  
correctly?

Thanks.
