Re: java installation issues

[JOYCE POLZIN <foxec208@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have never had any luck with the rpm.

I have uses the tarball  for a while now.

1. Download the tarball.
2. move / copy the tarball to where you wish java to reside
3. untar/gzip the tarball
4. apply alternatives
1. alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/bin/java 20000
2. alternatives --install  /usr/bin/javaws javaws /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/bin/javaws 20000
3. alternatives --install /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin.so libjavaplugin.so.x86_64 /usr/java/jre1.7.0_13/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so 20000
4. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
5. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config javaws
6. /usr/sbin/alternatives --config libjavaplugin.so.x86_64

trying to follow the installation directions at:

http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-sun-oracle-java-jdk-jre-6-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

and getting this, which isn't productive. Anyone have a better cheat sheet?
