Why didn't you have to install the RPM? Is there something in /usr/java
already?

/etc/profile.d is a directory. You want to edit /etc/profile instead. If
you haven't used vi before, I would suggest you try the pico editor
instead. Pico is a little more intuitive to start off with, but I
recommend you learn vi eventually.
