Java installation trouble.

Lokathor · 07-08-2006, 02:38 AM

I installed java-pacakage and then tried to use the "fakeroot make-jpkg binaryFile" command (like it says to in the how-to), and it spat back at me the following:

Code:

daniel@compy:~$ fakeroot make-jpkg jre-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
Creating temporary directory: /tmp/make-jpkg.ZGlpnF2827
Loading plugins: blackdown-j2re.sh blackdown-j2sdk.sh common.sh ibm-j2re.sh ibm-j2sdk.sh j2re.sh j2sdk.sh j2se.sh sun-j2re.sh sun-j2sdk.sh

No matching plugin was found.
Removing temporary directory: done
daniel@compy:~$

The topic doesn't seem to talk about any kind of "plugin" except for the browser plugins. What did I do wrong (or what didn't I install)?

I'm sorry, but how does a windows driver to read ext2 help my debian system?

sun-java5-jre is in the repos now.

compy:/home/daniel# apt-get install sun-java5-jre

I added the repos, updated, and then tried to install it and it still says that those packages don't exist.

Do the "free-java-sdk" and "kaffe" packages provide the same functionality as the normal java setup? Truth be told, i'm not particualrly intrested in using java beyond getting Limewire to run, i'm not a fan of the language. maybe that's why it won't work for me.

Alright then, we will configure it manually.

1) Download the J2SE v 1.4.2_12 SDK package from sun's website. Here's the link
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html
Please select the "self-extracting file" under this section
Linux Platform - Java(TM) 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2_12 for download.

2) Make this j2sdk-1_4_2_12-linux-i586.bin executable

Code:

chmod 0755 j2sdk-1_4_2_12-linux-i586.bin

3) Run this file

Code:

./j2sdk-1_4_2_12-linux-i586.bin

4) You will see some "Terms and Conditions" screen. Keep pressing ENTER till you are being asked to type "yes" or "no". Type "yes" and press ENTER.
5) A directory named j2sdk1.4.2_12 will be created in the current working directory. Copy/Move this directory to your desired installation directory. I would prefer /usr/local

Code:

mv j2sdk1.4.2_12 /usr/local/ -v

6) Add the path to /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_12/bin to your system's PATH variable

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_12/bin

7) Now check if it's configured correcly. Try running java and javac

Code:

java

Code:

javac

8) If you see some output other than "command not found", then you are done.
9) To make this PATH variable hold the path of the java executables, add the export command used above at the end of /etc/profile file

Code:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_12/bin

Please let me know if it works.

yeah, manual installing did work, thanks. I was somehow under the impression that a deb file was required to get everything into the proper location. Guess not.

I should have said where. Sorry. It is in non-free secction of sid by that name exacly. Even has an optional mozilla plugin.

I checked the depenicies. It will install in testing without any problems. It will stay in unstable for a while because people keep filing bugs against it licence.
