Slackware 10 + jdk 1.5

jorge.vargas · 07-16-2004, 01:15 PM

I'm trying to install Java to install project Looking Glass, so i need Java 1.5

following their instalation instructions I downloaded and run this file

# /bin/bash jdk-1_5_0-beta2-linux-i586-rpm.bin

getting this as an error.

Code:

error: Failed dependencies:
        glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by jdk-1.5.0-beta2
        sh-utils >= 2.0-1 is needed by jdk-1.5.0-beta2
        fileutils >= 4.0-8 is needed by jdk-1.5.0-beta2
        gawk >= 3.0.4-1 is needed by jdk-1.5.0-beta2
        textutils >= 2.0-2 is needed by jdk-1.5.0-beta2
        /bin/sh is needed by jdk-1.5.0-beta2

went i go to slackware.com and look for any of those packages I get nothing.

anyone has had this problem, or try to install this and fail to do so? I know i may have problems with looking glass because on their webpage it doesn't says anything about it being test in slackware. but still i want to try.

And since i'm a Java developer I still want to get jdk running

if ur interested in looking glass

Did you try searching in slackware-current? I looked around on the mirrors and found 'glibc-2.3.2-i486-6.tgz' on the first one I could connect to (...seems like they've blocked FTP here...

)

isn't slackware-current the same as slackware 10 ????

It looks to be searching for the dependencies inside the (empty in the case of Slackware) RPM database, or whatever they call it.

Get the Linux self-extracting file (jdk-1_5_0-beta2-linux-i586.bin)
