Hi All,
I installed the following from here,
http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
and followed here,
http://java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm
what am I doing wrong? Also, how does one find where the rpm installed to? whereis or locate or find or is there a rpm option? Cheers
Mark Sargent.
[coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -iv jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm Preparing packages for installation... jre-1.5.0_06-fcs [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ ls Adobe apache2 bin etc games include javarun jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm lib libexec man mysql sbin share src [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ whereis jre-1.5.0_06-fcs jre-1.5: [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ man rpm [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -i jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm package jre-1.5.0_06-fcs is already installed [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -i jre-1.5 error: open of jre-1.5 failed: No such file or directory [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -i jre-1.5.0_06-fcs error: open of jre-1.5.0_06-fcs failed: No such file or directory
Ok, I re-checked my steps,
[coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -i jre* package jre-1.5.0_06-fcs is already installed [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -e jre-1.5.0_06-fcs [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -i jre* [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -iv jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm Preparing packages for installation... package jre-1.5.0_06-fcs is already installed [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ ls Adobe apache2 bin etc games include jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm lib libexec man mysql sbin share src
Hi All,
I also did a rpm -qa grep,
[coolprogrammer@localhost local]$ sudo /bin/rpm -qa | grep jre* [coolprogrammer@localhost local]$
Cheers.

The Sun java rpm isn't really an rpm. It tosses stuff outside the reach of the standard path in /usr/java. I would very strongly recommend the sun-java-compat rpm from jpackage.org. It will set up your java environment in a functional manner and change the alternates settings such that you can actually use java.

You do not have to use sudo just to query the rpm db.
