java with mozilla and open office
hi...i'm using slackware and i want to install java in it...i tried to untar it to /usr/local but thats about all i did...seems like open office can't detect the java. and mozilla can't upgrade as well...thanks for all your help

so, what kind of package have you got, sdk?
then you have untarred it in /usr/local... Well, then it should be installed doing: ./configure make make install (as superuser) |
If all you've done is unpack it in /usr/local there'll be depending on whether it's the jre or sdk
j2sdk_whatever_theversion.bin chmod u+x j2sdk_whatever_theversion.bin ./j2sdk_whatever_theversion.bin And that'll create the the directory for it and install it in /usr/local as you guessed it j2sdk_whatever_theversion (or slightly different name if it's just the runtime environment you got) Open Office should detect it if you put in /etc/profile Code:
JAVA_HOME=path_to_the_java_directory_you just installed |
there's no configure file in it...so..how do i go about doing it?...i downloaded another one with .bin ... don't know how to install those kind of files..any help..

Just do what Looking_Lost said to do:
type chmod u+x j2sdk_whatever_theversion.bin and hit enter then type ./j2sdk_whatever_theversion.bin and follow the onscreen instructions. (and then do all the other stuff Looking_Lost said) And it should all work fine. If it doesn't, post what you did and any error messages that appear and we'll help with troubleshooting. |
