"how did you install an rpm on Mint which uses .deb packages?"
The Oracle SQL Developer page only points to a link ending in '.rpm'.
Java SE Development kit is available in both .rpm and .tar.gz formats
apt-get install sqldeveloper-package gives:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
sqldeveloper-package is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 17 not upgraded.
Sql Developer is installed but it's all about finding the java stuff which is installed but the path can't be found.
so you are using instructions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux ( the Oracle rebuild) that is is the RPM red hat family
on Linux Mint13 that is part of the Debian ( .deb) family
the rpm and deb groups are as divided as say .... " the Hatfield and McCoy's "
the USA vs. CCCP
if you are giont to use a Debian operating system then use Debian guides
