Hey guys,

 I just tried installing jdk 1.0.7 on my centos 5.6 box and I am getting a permission denied error when I try to display the java version.



[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #ln -s /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0 /etc/alternatives/jdk
[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #ln -s /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/bin/java /etc/alternatives/java
[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #ln -s /etc/alternatives/java /usr/bin/java
[root at VIRTCENT09:/usr/lib] #java -version
Error: dl failure on line 875
Error: failed /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so, because /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied


I tried opening up the permissions every step of the way along the path to /usr/lib/jdk1.7.0/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so but no luck so far. 


I would certainly appreciate any advice you'd be willing to provide!

thanks!!
tim
