yum (and then rpm) both complained (from above):

But previously firefox had complained there was no Java and Sun's
instructions were saying a new subdir would be installed in current dir
with the Java stuff therein - this wasn't happening. Hence my OP.

Yes I see them and it appears Java was already there before my yum/rpm
failures:

mkb@veri:~$ java --version
java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-27)

mkb@veri:~$ which -a java
/usr/bin/java

mkb@veri:~$ ls -lt /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2007-07-19 17:06 /usr/bin/java
-> /etc/alternatives/java*


And querying rpm/yum shows:

mkb@veri:~$ yum list installed j*|less

But it does appear that the JRE was installed yest:
mkb@veri:~$ cd /usr/java;lsalt
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 2007-10-12 17:48 ./
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   16 2007-10-12 17:48 default
-> /usr/java/latest/
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   21 2007-10-12 17:48 latest
-> /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 2007-10-12 17:48 jre1.6.0_03/
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 2007-10-12 17:48 ../

So why does Firefox still not pick up the JRE? In particular, if I go to
web page 
	http://www.grid-support.ac.uk/content/view/81/195/
and click on 'install' button (which should launch java web start) or go
to
	http://www.grid-support.ac.uk/content/view/259/195/
 it says i need to install a JRE

Indeed FF 'about:plugins' seems to have no mention of Java anywhere...

Any ideas?
