Java JDK
 
hello,

I just downloaded java JDK bin file and I typed:

chmod -x jdk-6u5-linux-i586.bin
then ./jdk-6u5-linux-i586.bin

and im getting a permission denied error

Anyone have any ideas why?

Thanks?

(Dist: Mandriva 2008)

Can you access it via the GUI? If you right click on it, and click on 'properties', and go to the 'permissions' tab at the top, is the 'Allow execution of this program' box checked?

You were supposed to type chmod +x (plus x, not minus).

And of course, you also need to make sure that you are root (su -) if you want to install it to, say, /usr or /opt.

By the way, Mandriva has the jdk in its repositories, why install it manually?
