I must have something screwed up. When I try to yum the jave jre, it appears that its not finding the file. Below is the output from my command. I set the yum configuration from the web link someone posted, which is below the command output. Appreciate any help..

x86_64 ?

Yes, Dag, it's the x86-64 version. I wanted more to find out why it was not finding things than installing the jre.

The JRE currently packaged does not exist for x86_64. It's a ia32 binary-only.
Kind regards, -- dag wieers, dag@wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [all I want is a warm bed and a kind word and unlimited power]
Thanks Dag,
I thought I'd remembered reading that somewhere before. One question tho, how come when I try to do a yum install something it always comes back saying nothing to do. Is that because there is no matching file or is my yum.conf messed up?

It's matching your architecture, which is x86_64. Since there's no java package for that, it's not showing up, and there's "nothing to do" to install it since it doesn't exist for that arch. Your yum setup is fine. that package just isn't in the 64bit repository.

Thanks Jim. Just not used to using these tools with Linux. Come from the BSD camp, and there are significant differences, believe me! BTW, I'm here in Martinez.. where you live? maybe coffee sometime?
