Java for mandrake 10.0 comunity
Hello.
I have some big trouble with getting java to work on my computer, i have mandrake 10.0 community. I have tryed following these steps, to step 2, cause they told me that the rpm is not nesecery., but they dont work for me "ln -s /usr/java/jdk(eller-jre)/bin/* /usr/java". I use Mozilla Firefox 0.8. And i have tryed this to "http://wp.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html". And i have tryed this to "http://www.java.com:80/en/download/help/linux_install.jsp#install-pkg". Non of them works for me. Please help me cause im getting relly angry here. |
Try downloading the runtime environment (j2se jre)) here
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html After installing, go to the plugin folder of java and choose the i386 folder. Once inside, choose the ns610-gcc32 folder. Open a terminal and cd into .mozilla/plugins, the "ln -s" the libjavaplugin found in the above folder. If this doesn't work try the libjava plugins from the other 2 folders, deleting the original plugin entry first. |
The url you gave me doesnt work. It links to www.microsoft.com :(

I found it trough sun.com startpage. Anyway i havent tryed this one yet so i relly hope it will work. Cause nothing so far is working for me. I tryed to install nvidia drivers, didint work. ;/

I got this file "j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin"
How do i install it then ? (im relly new to linux) Should i open shell, cd into the folder its placed in, then what command ? Thanx alot |
You're on the right track.
1. cd to the folder it is in 2. run "./j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin" and let it go through its processes. |
Got this message.
[root@h12n2fls35o858 Nerladdat]# run ./j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin -bash: run: command not found Whats wrong ? |
Don't type "run". ;)
Just type: ./j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin |
hehe :D ops.
Then i got "[root@h12n2fls35o858 Nerladdat]# ./j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin -bash: ./j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin: Permission denied " |
Beat me to the punch, Padma!
|
What ? ? ?
|
d1ny3: you need to give yourself execute permissions on the file. ;) The simplest way to do that is to just type
chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_2_04-nb-3_6-bin-linux.bin If that command gives you a similar "permission denied"-type error, then type "su" and enter the password to become root, and repeat the chmod command. |

Thanx alot guys, took 1 week for the guys on the irc channel to explain, but it stil ddint work.
But now it does. I'll try to follow clarcs steps now :D thanx |
one more thing,
"Open a terminal and cd into .mozilla/plugins, the "ln -s" the libjavaplugin found in the above folder." How do i do this process ? I tryed to cd into mozilla/plugins, then what ? should i just type the commando "ln -s" Thanx |
Whell anyway it works for me, thanx guys.
have a nice weekend now :D |
You're welcome. :D
The "ln -s" was to make a link to the netscape/mozilla plugin in the correct folder. But it sounds like your mozilla plugin search-path includes the folder it was in already. ;) |
