i can't install the jave runtime environment
 

i am running SuSe at the moment, i've downloaded the linux jre off sun.com but i can't figure out how to install it, Yast opens but does nothing, and when i tried downloading the self extractor that wouldn't work either!

Any help wouuld be greatly appreciated. thanks

There's an installation instruction here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/jre/install-linux.html

at Sun's page. It can be very tricky to install it sometimes :(.

Good luck!

Java Setup

what version SuSE is it. first make sure that java isnt already installed. by typing "java -fullversion" without the quotes..
