I've read website http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS. I am a total newbie with CentOS, but currently, with update 21 of the Java 6 JDK and CentOS 5.5, the installing the JDK appears to be simpler: 1. Download the latest *rpm.bin jdk (as of today,jdk-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin) fromhttp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/widget/jdk6.jsp 2. chmod +x the downloaded file. 3. su 4. Execute the file. The main advantage of this procedure is that you do not need to build an RPM. --- Bob Stine bob at waltonstine.net (703) 217-4784 Rule for living: What Would Clint Eastwood Do? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
