Getting Keyboard to Work

To let the Java compiler know how to find the Keyboard class that you are importing do the following:

• Open the file .bash_profile (note the dot!!) in your home directory in emacs.
• Add to it the following shell command:

  
  export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/csjava/classes
  
  

• Save the file.
• Exit emacs
• Log off riddler and then log back on (the shell commands in .bash_profile are executed only when you log in)
• Compiling Java programs should now work.

An alternate method is to type the export command above at the shell prompt. This lets the Java compiler find the Keyboard class while you are working this session. The next time you log in you would need to execute the command again.
