[SOLVED] Problem with Java install in 64-current

J1NKL3 · 09-12-2012, 01:12 AM

FIXED: Turns out if you don't pay attention and use the Solaris package things don't work correctly... who knew?

Tried to install the JDK on my desktop last night and can't seem to get it working. It works fine on the laptop, but is giving me a weird error that I can't quite figure out. Anyone have any ideas or pointers? Let me know if you need more info. Thanks! It's the lastest 7u7 JDK.

uname -a

Code:

Linux tuxbox 3.2.28 #2 SMP Thu Aug 23 12:43:19 CDT 2012 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q8300  @ 2.50GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

echo $PATH

Code:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib64/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib64/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.:usr/lib64/java/bin/amd64:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

file java

Code:

java: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped, uses FPU FXSR SSE

user@tuxbox:/usr/lib64/java/bin/amd64$ ./java

Code:

bash: ./java: No such file or directory

user@tuxbox:~$ java

Code:

bash: java: command not found

The java binary should be located in /usr/lib64/java/bin, not inside an amd64 subdirectory.
Also note that the path you added to PATH is a relative one (it lacks a prepending /).
You shouldn't need to manually adjust PATH if you mark /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh as executable, though...

I'm sure I had the prepending / at one point during the install in my .bashrc but even after fixing that it doesn't run. jdk.sh does not exist in my /etc/profile.d

I see. The installer probably messed up something...
Remove the JDK first using the installer as mentioned on this page, then repackage the installer itself using the SlackBuild you can find under extra/java in the Slackware-current tree.
You will obtain a .txz Slackware package which should work out of the box, then.

Wow... how stupid do I feel right now? Just went back to the source directory and realized I downloaded the Solaris code instead of Linux

Well, this explains a lot

I still don't have /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh though... any idea how to get that so I won't have to modify the PATH?

Have you repackaged the binary installer downloaded from Oracle's site with the SlackBuild?

Got it fixed with a little bit of Googling... thanks
