What is the output of the error message, if any?

Is there a specific reason you are trying to install an outdates version. 1.4.2 is availabe via yum. Here is the FedoraFaq for installing it.

[imdeemvp]

as root type in terminal: rpm -ivh j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm is this how you did it? and if you continue to have problems read this tutorial by tchung

the java instructions at fedorafaq.org are good too. I've done my java installations that way.

If you use yum (yum install mozilla-j2re) or synaptic, it'll be easier.
