Could this be the cause of the problem? man whereis Bugs: ... whereis has a hardcoded path. ... Try "type java" to find out where it is. I doubt this is the problem, but without output from the command when you attempt to run it, I'm guessing. Possible it has a script that resets the path, but unlikely, most things prepend to PATH at worst.
