I am currently at a loss as to why this is happening. I did some basic research by running:

whereis javac

-and-

find / -name javac

...and I came up with nothing I searched the web for answers but they all seem to focus on javac existing on the filesystem, and that needs to be done is to restore a missing sym-link.

Has anyone run up against this issue and found a solution ?

I have attempted to install openJDK on Scientific Linux 6.3 with the command:

yum install openjdk

Thanks!!!
