Installing Freemind. It needs Java JRE.
So after lots of pain, and reading past messages, I got
jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.rpm from sun and installed it.
Then I tried to follow Jim Perrin's recommendation to install from
jpackage.org the java-1.5.0-sum-compat.rpm. Thing is it is complaining
about no JDK (not JRE!)
yum install java-1.5.0-sun-compat (have jpackage.org repo in
yum.repo.d)
.... <snip> .....
OK. What is broken here?
java-1.5.0-sun-compat works ONLY with the jdk, not the jre
i sugest to u to install the jdk, the jre is a subset of the full
jdk, if your app need jre, then can work with the jdk too.
OK. I removed jre and installed jdk. This allowed me to install the
java-sun-compat from jpackage.org, but now....
java -version
gets command not found. I THINK in part this might be due to the
Alternatives commands I entered? I HAVE NOT been able to trace
through all the links. It seems to be a mess!
And of course, although I finally got freemind installed (all sorts of
things needed from jpackage for that), it won't run without finding java.
I just deleted the broken link to java in /etc/alternatives, and made a
new one. Now Freemind is running.
I still have to see about getting java plugged into Firefox, I think.
