Hello all,
I saw this post and I thought for sure that it would help me, but alas, I can't seem to get it. I installed j2re using an rpm so now I have j2re-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.rpm.bin in /usr/local.
For bashing the profile I typed the following:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2re-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.rpm.bin
I received no errors so I am assuming that that went well.
But I still get the message about no VM existing.
Can anyone help, please? |
Quick class:
j2re-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.rpm.bin is a package that has to be opened first. Like in windows, zip are zip files, exe are executable files, in linux bin are executable files. rpm are like self executing zip files. YOu first have to execute the package after you download it to your harddrive. Like so;
sh j2re-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.rpm.bin
If that doesn't work it is because it is not setup to execute. YOu can fix that by typing this command:
chmod +x j2re-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.rpm.bin
After that you should have a rpm that you can use and follow the directions as I have them stated as they are to be followed with the correct package format (rpm in your case).
HTH
P.S. Best bet, scroll down to the second post on "The Solution to All Install Problems" and you will see exactly what you need to do. It is called "Sun RPM Install"
