Java Installation in Debian 64bit

manolakis · 05-22-2007, 02:20 PM

Hi there
I just installed Debian 64bit and I tried to install jdk1.6.0_01 into usr/local/ but javac can not be found.

Quote:

manos@debian:/usr/local/jdk1.6.0_01$ which java
/usr/bin/java

Can someone edit my profile. Currently looks like that

Quote:

# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin"
else
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games"
fi
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
if [ "$BASH" ]; then
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
else
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PS1='# '
else
PS1='$ '
fi
fi
fi
export PATH
umask 022

Thanks for your time
Manos

I have this in my ~/.bashrc.

Code:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.00

Also you did not mention which version of Debian you installed but you can get Java 6 by having non-free in your sources.list with either testing or the unstable branches if using etch then you should be able to put a temporary line for non-free for testing in there and install then remove the line.

Code:

apt-cache policy sun-java6-jre
sun-java6-jre:
  Installed: 6-00-2
  Candidate: 6-00-2
  Version table:
 *** 6-00-2 0
        990 http://ftp2.de.debian.org testing/non-free Packages
        600 http://ftp2.de.debian.org sid/non-free Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I do not believe there is such a version can you show the output of the command below.

Code:

cat /etc/debian_version
lenny/sid

Is this actually your version of Firefox/Iceweasel? This is not the same as the actual Debian release.

manolakis · 05-22-2007, 11:09 PM

yes, you are right. Any idea how i can find that out?

Just post the output of

Code:

cat /etc/debian_version

manolakis · 05-23-2007, 01:07 AM

It is version for 4.0 Can i get now the chance to ask you if you know if there is any gcc compiler pre-installed in the Debian?

Change your profile to Etch.

Very little gets installed in Debian unless you ask for it. That applies to gcc.

"# aptitude install build-essential" will get you the base compiler and some other things.

If you have trouble with the compiler, you might also run "aptitude search gcc" That may identify some peripheral associated packages you need.

You have a typo...

rickh · 05-23-2007, 01:22 AM

Sorry. I do that all the time. ... Fixed.

manolakis · 05-23-2007, 12:40 PM

Hi again
I would like to thank you beforehand. Now i have got gcc and everything looks fine.
I would be once more obliged if you have a look to http://www.osnews.com/story.php/5768...2-bit-Binaries
What i would like to know is how to compile source codes of different programming language like C , Java, so to produce 64bit executables.
The web-page that i provided includes how to compile a C file.
Is there anything relative for Java?
I have heard of chroot command as well(Is it for conversion?)...
I would be really thankful to anyone that has been familiar with 64 bit systems and could explain me my basic wonderings for such a system

Once more again I own you a big thank to all of you for your precious help
Manos
