trying to install the J2SE JDK 5.0 and NetBeans IDE 4.0, file not recognized????

[bigred]

I'm trying to install the J2SE JDK 5.0 and NetBeans IDE 4.0 Software Bundle and I'm experiencing the following error message:

[root@localhost ~]# chmod 755 jdk-1_5_01-nb-4_0-bin-linux.bin
chmod: cannot access `jdk-1_5_01-nb-4_0-bin-linux.bin': No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#

Sun's installation instructions state that i must do this to change the files permissions so that the file may be installed. The file is located in the directory above but Linux doesn't seem to recognize it, how come? Any help with this would be appreciated

Bigred (noob) ;-)

are you sure you have not downloaded a compressed version ??
If yes uncrompress it before.
can you do a ls -l command on the repertory where the file is located

[bigred]

I can do an ls -l command....it lists all the files in the directory, nothing else. it is not a compressed version, i dont think....tried to uncompress it but it was already uncomressed.

strange, have you try to redownload it or try another one for exemple the rpm :
jdk-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Hi Bigred!

What file have you downloaded?
rpm.bin or .bin?

[tiberiu]

Ya man! U're right!

They made a small, little (let's say) mistake:

in their example the name of the file is: chmod a+x jre-1_5_0-linux-i586-rpm.bin

if the name of the file which u've downloaded is: jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin
then our command must be: chmod a+x jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin

It works! I've just installed it!

Best regards!

slvrsrfr if you have a .bin file after just type

./jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.bin
if you have the execution right, it should execute and you will be able to install java

There are several How-To's in that section of the forum: http://fedoraforum.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=12

[krisnalada]

slvrsrfr : Which hardware platform are you working with ?? Intel Pentium IV ? Pentium III, II I, AMD Athlon, duron, Athlon 64, Athlon Xp ???

xveganx : I think you are not doing wrong, you just don't have the javac path in your default path ^_^

if your using bash, edit your .bash_profile file which is in our home directory
in the file, you have a line : PATH=...
at the end add the path to your java and javac bin directory.
to know where they are :

as root

updatedb

(it may take some time)

locate javac

it will return several aswer, look at the one within a /bin/ directory for instance : /opt/jdk1.5.0/bin/javac
then add is to your path, it may look like this

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/opt/jdk1.5.0/bin

it should solve your problems
NB : you could also do alias in the /usr/bin directory with the ln -s command
