Hello all

I downloaded RHEL 6.5 from Redhat but I want to save money and so did not subscribe to RHN.
I installed what I wanted but I could not find 3 packages.
They are:
a) perl-XML-Simple
b) xerces-c
c) java-1.7.0-oracle

I found rpm source for (a) and (b) in the following URL: http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/e...r/en/os/SRPMS/

However, I cannot find out where to download rpm of java-1.7.0-oracle.

Does anyone know where to find it?

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, Oracle's java license does not permit mirroring, so Red Hat is not allowed to provide own downloads. Look at oracle:

Or, try another java vm, like icedtea.

Then why bother installing RHEL??? Load CentOS for free, which is 99.x% IDENTICAL. And why would you install RHEL 6.5, when the latest is 7???
Nothing good will come out of what you're doing.

Unless you PAY FOR RHEL, you WILL NOT get updates/patches/bugfixes/security fixes, and installing ANYTHING will be much more difficult. And shoving things in from source does two things:

• It makes your system MUCH harder to maintain, since you will then have to keep track of, install, and test every update/fix manually.
• It may very well make your system unstable, since the package(s) you're installing won't be certified to work with the OS

RHEL self-support is $99 per year. If this is for your company, then pay for it. If it's not, or you don't want to, stop where you are and load CentOS instead.

if you are using redhat and NOT paying for it , then NONE!!!!! of the solutions will work
we will tell you to use "yum"
it WILL NOT WORK
so you will NOT be able to fix anything
BUY the required support contract or install CentOS

openJDK is in the repos
if you do not pay for it
that will NOT WORK

Thanks all for your replies.

Actually, I was able to find all the missing RPMs from:
http://rpm.pbone.net/
http://rpmfind.net/

In regards to $99 self support, it is actually for workstation while I am looking for Enterprise edition.
According to my research, you will need to submit all your proof to Redhat that you are purely using it for testing or development purposes before they will grant you the cheaper Enterprise self support or else it will be close to $1,000 per annum.

Why not just install CentOS or Scientific linux?????????????
they are FREE rebuilds of the redhat code base

OR
PAY FOR THE REQUIRED REDHAT SUPPORT CONTRACT!!!!!!!!

@john lee.

You can migrate the OS to the free version "Redhat CentOS 6.5",
.. and thus install any package with # yum install <package-name>

Lol

It's nowhere close to $1000 for enterprise subscriptions, and self support is nearly free.

You should load CentOS.
