Having trouble installing Java 1.6 on Redhat via a SSH connection

Hi there,

I'm experiencing difficulty installing JRE 1.6 on my Redhat web server. I require the Java libraries in order to install a certain module for my website. Here is a log of the actions I took to try and install Java:

Code:

Done.

Have you tried the rpm.bin version? Or did you already install an rpm.bin version of another jre (you can't do so for more than one).

It is curious that just a few days ago, someone posted another jdk1.6 issue that affected Red Hat only. Maybe a bug in the jre?

I tried the RPM as well. It gave the same problem and I uninstalled it with the "rpm -e" command. Do you have the link of the thread with the JRE issue on Redhat? Maybe that person has a solution to my problem.

Believe it or not, I haven't gotten a single reply on sun's forum!
