I have some software that says it requires JRE 8.1 or higher.
That's very odd, since technically JRE 8 is java 1.8 (and JRE 7 is/was 1.7; JRE 6 was 1.6, et cetera).
If I go to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downlo ads-21331 55.html
and install jre-8u144-linux-x64.rpm I get jrel.8.0_144. Anyone know where
I can get 8.1?
http://javadl.oracle.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=225344_09 0f390dda5 b47b9b721c7dfaa008135 should get you the 64-bit v1.8 build 144 of Java, which is indeed the latest version.
What software is it that requires JRE 8.1?
Sorry I mistyped it says 1.8 or greater. I did install that and I still get the message. It's remote control software for an IBM system.
Do you have a lower version Java installed? What does command 'java -version' say?
openJDK version "1.8.0_101" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_101-b13) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.101-b13, mixed mode)
IBM has their own flavor of Java. Is it looking for that?
I don't know. I am running CentOS6 and then trying to run their remote control SW throught FF. Maybe I have to restart FF ... going to try that ... no joy, same errors. Contacting IBM now.
For some of the IBM hardware I have had to use a new Java but an old copy of Firefox. The best explanation I have is probably flawed but it was that the hardware wanted SSL1/SSL2 type stuff which the new Firefox and items blocked. There is probably a better way to fix it.
I have FF version 24.6.0 - probably very old. This is a locked down machine, not on the internet, so installing anything is a pain.
