I Installed j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm but still I am not able to chat yahoo
Hiii
I am a new user to Linux and recently downloaded a java application for Mozilla I installed it from the same directory where it was saved after download i.e /root/downloads/ And now I am lost :( The download seemed me to be fine but when I check the version for satisfation of installation it says java command not found, and my Mozilla hasn't been updated with the plug-in. plz help me any one :( Thanx |
put the java files somwhere else!!! (/usr/local/java is a good place)
and check this out: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html#Java in my laptop, i have j2re installed here: /usr/local/j2re1.4.2_01/ hth. |
I also recommend to put the java files somewhere else. But I think you have to add the java binaries to the PATH.
For example I have added this line in my .bashrc PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/bin/:$PATH but it's better if you move them to /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/. In fact I didn't move the files. The RPM package installed them there. |
Still Confused
Hii Again
Actually guys I wanted you people to give me complete way of doing whatever you suggest. You see I am very new to Linux and it has fasinated me alot as well but it discourages me to know that I am helpess without assistance so plz give me complete knowledge of what to do now, where to find the files from and how to find them ! I am expecting best answers now, coz this forum is gr8 I have browsed it a little before registering and found many useful answers and I beg for one more plz ! Thanx. |
ok, let's try to explain it better :).
So, you want to install j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm package. I guess you have already downloaded it. 1. install it as superuser. type: >su >"password" type: rpm -i j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm 2. look for it: it should be in /usr/java/jdkSomething or try to locate it typing locate jdk1.4. remember the path to it, something like /usr/java/jdk1.4.1_02/ try doing cd /usr/java/jdk --and press tab key to see what is in there 3. add it to the PATH In your home directory /home/yourUserName look for .bashrc file or create it. emacs .bashrc add a line like this: PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02/bin/:$PATH but instead /usr/java/jdk1.3.1_02 put the path where the java binary is: it should be /usr/java/jdk1.4.1_02/bin/ 4.open a new terminal now it should work if you type java. good luck. |
Hii aizkorri
Your description I guess is the best I could have received, but still all goes in vain :( I uninstalled it by rpm -e j2sdk-1_4_1_06-fcs-linux-i586.rpm and then did everything that u said. I got confused in PATH making but then I opened emacs by emas .bashrc and wrote #PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_06/bin/:$PATH .bashrc and saved it then i closed emacs then the terminal reopeed it typed java but still it says command not found. Please can there be other problems if so how can they be eradicated. I want to install java so that I can chat online on yahoo. Please Help :( Take Kare |
hi,
you wrote this in the .bashrc file? #PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_06/bin/:$PATH .bashrc you should add only: #PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_06/bin/:$PATH for example you can try to execute it writing this in the terminal: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_06/bin/ if it works then there shouldn't be other problem. I don't know what else can be wrong, I will post if something else comes to my mind. |
