With that said, has anyone looked at building a RPM for the IBM JRE for, say, CentOS Plus and/or Extras? I know it's not quite as compatible,
IBM already releases one.
The short version of the install process is:
[herrold@centos-4 java]$ cat README
RPH on installing the IBM JRE java environment on CentOS-4 series: ======================================================
1. Install the pre-requs and the package:
cd /home/herrold/download/IBM/java sudo yum -y install compat-libstdc++-33 compat-libstdc++-296 sudo rpm -Uvh IBMJava2-142-ia32-SDK-1.4.2-1.0.i386.rpm
2. Update the path:
/opt/IBMJava2-142/bin
... manually edit /etc/profile, and add:
# for IBM java pathmunge /opt/IBMJava2-142/bin before
... just before the "# No core files by default" is a good spot for it
3. (Optional) Make the CLASSPATH explicit, but adding it to /etc/profile :
export CLASSPATH=/opt/IBMJava2-142/bin
-- verify this TBD
4. (Optional) - Make java available to 'mozilla':
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ sudo ln -s /opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_ojigcc3.so .
(for early versions (mozilla-1.4 and earlier)
[as root] cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ ln -s/opt/IBMJava2-142/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
5. Reboot, to confirm it all works from a standing start
[herrold@centos-4 java]$
