Difficulty installing Java Runtime on Scientific Linux 6.0
AMD 64-bit quad core
Scientific Linux 6.0 Firefox 3.6 Firefox is complaining that I need a java plugin. Apparently, it has to be installed manually. I managed to download jre-6u25-linux-x64.bin and saved it on my desktop. Then a ran jre-6u25-linux-x64.bin and it created a directory on my desktop called jre-6.0_25. Within the directory there the following subdirectories: bin, javaws, lib, man, and plugin. At this point, I am completely bewildered. |
Okay, I got it.
I got the instructions from this page: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ux-136395.html I logged in as root. I moved the jre1.6.0_25 directory to /usr/local/ Then went to the /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ directory. Closed firefox. Then linked: # ln -s /usr/local/jre1.6.0_25/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so . Opened firefox and entered "about:plugins" in the URL. And there is was. |
you might want to use the forum tools and mark this as ( solved) if it is
also keep in mind that SL like RHEL dose a lot of things manually it is nice and stable - perfect for the lab , but not so great for home use . |
