J2SE JDK 1.5.0-06 Install Errors

Grr.

Code:

root@Paradise:/# rpm -i jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
        glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
        sh-utils >= 2.0-1 is needed by jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
        fileutils >= 4.0-8 is needed by jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
        gawk >= 3.0.4-1 is needed by jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
        textutils >= 2.0-2 is needed by jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
        /bin/sh is needed by jdk-1.5.0_06-fcs
root@Paradise:/# gawk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.5
[...snip...]

I grabbed the glibc, gawk, and coreutils packages off of Slackware.com and installed them all. I'm confused...
I ran the bin, errored the same as rpm -i'ing the rpm alone. I used rpm2tgz on the rpm, and ran that. I got no error, but I still get 1.5.0_04 from java --version. Arr! Help?

Slack 10.2, kernel 2.6.16.9, if that helps.

Get the binary file instead of the rpm file from Sun's homepage. RPM's are evil(not quite, but almost

). Check this thread out:

Exporting the path didn't work.

I tried linking, that doesn't work either. Results:

Code:

spencer@Paradise:~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode)
spencer@Paradise:~$ /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin/java -version
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object
spencer@Paradise:~$ /usr/bin/java -version
bash: /usr/bin/java: Too many levels of symbolic links

[edit]
One of my friends got on and helped me. It worked. Solution

Quote:

Here is how I do it:

- Download the non-RPM Java package
- Extract it
- Move it to /usr/local/lib
- Make a link from /usr/local/lib/java2-1.5.7_05 (or whatever) to /usr/local/lib/java:
ln -s /usr/local/lib/java2-1.5.7_05 /usr/local/lib/java
- Make a link to the Java binaries in the bin direcotry
ln -s /usr/local/lib/java/bin/* /usr/local/bin

After that, it should work fine. If you upgrade Java, you can just re-point the link.
