I am installing a java program (.sh file), and I get this error.  Java

sed: can't read jre-install.sh: No such file or directory
mv: cannot stat `jre1.6.0_13': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `jre/bin/java': No such file or directory

Everything jre-* is yum installed, and "/usr/sbin/alternatives
--config java" is also set

Any suggestions?  Distro is CentOS 6.2 (2.6.32-220.4.1.el6.x86_64).
