Installing Sun Java Wireless Toolkit bin file.

lifeforce4 · 07-25-2007, 10:46 AM

I just installed the jre-6u1-i586-1 on my slackware box. Now I am trying to install sun's java wireless toolkit so I can run some of my phone applications on my computer. I went to sun site (http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtool...oad-2_5_1.html) and downloaded the file "sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin". The thing is I don't know how to install an app from a bin file. I have always worked with tar files. I did some searching to figure out what I could do but with no luck. Maybe I just don't know what to look for if anyone could give me advice or help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle

Just run it. ".bin" extension is meant to show it's an executable file:

Code:

# chmod +x sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin
# ./sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin

Oh alright, thank you for the information.

Well I ran the bin file in the shell and everything seems to be working but when I get to the install it gives me this. Would that mean I do not have the JRE installed correctly?

Code:

Testing /usr/lib/java/bin/java...

The Destination Directory you choosed (/usr/lib/java/bin/WTK2.5.1/) is odd. You are not supposed to install applications into directories belonging to other applications.

./sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin: line 1599: /usr/lib/java/bin/jar: No such file or directory

This is the main issue, why is there not a jar command here ?

What say "/usr/lib/java/bin/java -version" and "which jar" ?

Well I just was trying a few things on my own and got it to work. I took a different route then installing the jre I installed the JDK then the WTK. I downloaded jdk-6u2-nb-5_5_1-linux-ml.bin and installed that first, then used its lib files to install the sun_java_wireless_toolkit-2_5_1-linux.bin and it worked.

Code:

Testing /usr/lib/java/bin/java...

A suitable Java interpreter was detected

0) Use /usr/lib/java/bin/
1) Specify a path to a Java interpreter directory.
2) Cancel this installation.
Select a choice [0-2]: 1

#Then I defined the location were I installed the jdk.
/opt/lib/java/bin
