This is a strange one that has me stumped, but may have an easy answer for a veteran.
I've been installing the Java plugin from the Firefox site (tried IBM and Sun flavours. When I run the install script it creates the folder with the version number, in this case: jrel.5.0_07. However, I can't get the folder to open for love nor money. The error message is
bash: cd: jrel.5.0_07: No such file or directory
When I run find then the folder is accessed and its contents can be seen, I just can't open the damn thing.
I installed it under root via su and I can't complete the installation as I have to copy/link a couple of things from in there. Annoyingly, I installed once before and it worked fine.
I tried installing to different folders under /usr, but no joy. Also checked / changed the permissions using chmod (up to 777). It allowed me to do that and still wouldn't let me in.

Anyone got any ideas?
you're typing l instead of 1 for jre1.5.0_07, for future reference, if you think it's possible that you may be mistyping a filename or directory name, type the first few characters and hit the tab button on your keyboard and it will automagically complete the filename for you.
