Welcome to LQ.

Example, a 32bits RHEL 6 :
# rpm -Uvh jdk-1.6.0_37-fcs.i586.rpm
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux...7-fcs.i586.rpm
Or # yum localinstall --nogpgcheck jdk-1.6.0_37-fcs.i586.rpm

# /usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_37/bin/java 2

# /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
... And then select the "Sun Java".
