I haven't tried what you are doing, but this is how I installed java. I don't take any responsibility for buggering your system if things don't go well.
It's a bit tricky the way I do it - but I don't know of an easier way. Download the jdk from blackdown - http://www.blackdown.org/ You want the most current j2sdk- I use the j2sdk-1.4.1-beta-linux-i586.bin download that and put it in /usr/local (as root) run the .bin file: chmod +x j2sdk-1.4.1-beta-linux-i586.bin ./j2sdk-1.4.1-beta-linux-i586.bin You should now have a directory called j2sdk1.4.1 On my box - the UID/GID was wrong - so chown -R root:root j2sdk1.4.1 Make a symlink (for easier future update)- ln -s j2sdk1.4.1 j2sdk -=- Now you will need to edit your /etc/profile file. There will be a line that reads: pathmunge /usr/X11R6/bin after AFTER that line but before "unset pathmunge" enter : pathmunge /usr/local/j2sdk/bin Then, further down in the file, you'll find a line that says: HISTSIZE=1000 at some point after that - add export JAVA_HOME="/usr/local/j2sdk" write the changes and quit. Log out and then log in again. Java should now be functional on your system. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
