Have you tried this:
su root
chmod +x java
??
But you wrote that you have a RedHat. In this case most easiest way to
get JDK up is downloading and installing RedHat RPM binary package named
jdk-1_1_6sn-1_1glibc_i386.rpm
(It's a BlackDown port). You will find it on RedHat ftp:
ftp.redhat.com
/pub/contrib/grouped/glibc/i386/Development/Languages/Java/
Then simple type
rpm -i -vv jdk-1_1_6sn-1_1glibc_i386.rpm
and all relevant configuration and instalation will be done
Then rmdir yore
> resulting in 4 directories jdk1.1.6,jre1.1.6....
and relax ;-)
Have a nice cooding
