| 101807 | 2002-11-27 01:19:00 | The default install of Mozilla in RedHat 8 doesn't include Java, however one of the web appliactions that I want to use requires it, so I went to SUN's site and downloaded the 20 MB Java thinge:j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin (java.sun.com 13600060132859339008063305596058473206-3865/j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin). Now however I have a 20MB bin file and no idea what to do with it, I checked SUN's installation instructions but they are only for windows. What do I do now. Cheers Liam |

| 101812 | 2002-11-27 01:39:00 | Thx, looks like it........ Reading instructions now. | nz_liam (845) | ||
| 101813 | 2002-11-27 01:40:00 | Open a terminal window. cd to the directory where your .rpm file is. (It will probably be your home directory. "cd ~" will get to that if you're not already there). then su - rpm -ivvh jre-1*.rpm exit That will do it. ;-) |

| 101814 | 2002-11-27 02:04:00 | Have you found a solution to this? The bin file needs to be run firstly. ./jre......rpm.bin The link posted by honeylaser explains it all. |

(I also managed to bungle the symbolic link in the /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/plugins/ directory (spelling mistake) and had to use the "rm libjavaplugin_oji.so" command followed by the "ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so" command again.) Thanks everyone for their help..... I now have java in linux :):):) Cheers Liam |
