Help needed fixing borked Java install

[bruno9779]

I have tried installing java in several ways, but I still get this:

java --help
Error: could not find libjava.so
Error: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.

My latest attempt has been with oracles install instructions here : http://www.java.com/en/download/help...pm_install.xml

My system is full of java files, both openjdk1.6 and Oraclejava1.7.

I need a hand cleaning up and a reinstalling.

Thanks

I have removed and reinstalled openjdk from yum, and I still get the same error.

I don't know much about java, but it looks like SE is the development kit of my failed java 7 install.
So I have removed everything and installed Java SE 7 with jdk-7u1-linux-x64.rpm from oracle website.

I still get that error, but now some java apps work without sound and with the following error:

open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory

I cannot find any solution by googling this.

Any help is appreciated

You need to set up "alternatives" because for Fedora openjdk is the default, but some apps won't run properly with it.

Try following this:
