Java SDK in Fedora Core 3 (64 bit)

uphu · 12-07-2004, 11:11 PM

Ok, I'm running on an AMD 64 so to install the java sdk I downloaded j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-ia64-rpm.bin. Next, I followed the instuctions located here: http://java.sun.com/products/archive...ml#install-pkg

This is what my terminal looked like:

Code:

[uphu@localhost ~]$ chmod a+x j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-ia64-rpm.bin
[uphu@localhost ~]$ ./j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-ia64-rpm.bin

./j2sdk-1_4_2_06-linux-ia64-rpm.bin: line 370: ./install.sfx.3913: cannot execute binary file
Done.
[uphu@localhost ~]$

So any ideas whats wrong?

did you try doing it as root?

Yes, and I tried doing it in the directory its located too. Its always the same result.

do it as root as in you login as a super user. do

Code:

su -

it will ask for you root password, after that you prompt will turn to "#" instead of "$". And then try installing JDK again.

Use this as a reference: http://www.csfalcon.com/wiki/csfalcon/JavaSDK

Yes, I already did that and it gives the same error.

Hi,
I had this problem and it was a permissions problem. After I solved the permissions problem, I still had the same error.
The second time it turned out to be that I had the i386 .bin archive file instead of the amd64 .bin file. I was installing remotely on an AMD Opteron 64-bit SMP server (and didn't know it at the time). :-)
I fetched the correct version from the developer.sun.com web site and it all deflated perfectly.

Well, its funny because I'm running on an AMD 64 but I cannot install the ia64 while I can, and have in the past, installed i586. The problem then was that I couldn't install bluej. It was a .jar and I typed

Code:

java -jar bluej*.jar

...and there was some error.

when you say the the amd64 .bin file you mean is64 .bin, right?

Edit: Nevermind I got it all working. I installed the wrong one. Apparently they don't have a 1.4.2 for AMD 64's so I had to get JDK 1.5.0 for AMD 64
