Re: [CentOS] Installing Java on X86_64 CentOS 4.1

I ran into pretty much the same problem. I tried several times to install the runtime lib, and it sat there and did nothing. Got to reading and there does not seem to be support for the 86-64 versions. What do you do then? Run the 32-bit version of the browsers?

The 32-bit version of the browser should work fine. There is nothing in the browser that I can think of that needs 64-bit support, and the i86_64 architecture can run 32-bit code efficiently :-). People bump into this somewhat regularly on the SuSE AMD64 list and 'run it 32-bit' is usually the solution. The only thing to be alert to is having all of the required 32-bit libraries installed, and in the right places. YMMV & all that ....
