Hi, you'll havew to excuse me, but I'm rather new to Linux. I followed
the steps given with the JDK, but have still not been able to get it to
work properly. Here is what I did:
1) Extracted it to /usr/local/jdk116_v5
2) Added the line
alias java='/usr/local/jdk116_v5/bin/java'
to my .bashrc
3) However when I type "java" or go directly to the
/usr/local/jdk116_v5/bin and type "java" I get this:
ls: not: No such file or directory
/usr/local/jdk116_v5/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: can't resolve
symbol '_Xglobal_lock'
/usr/local/jdk116_v5/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: can't resolve
symbol '_XUnlockMutex_fn'
/usr/local/jdk116_v5/bin/../bin/i586/green_threads/java: can't resolve
symbol '_XLockMutex_fn'
>From what I can tell the i586 dir is a link to the i486 dir. Any help
would be GREATLY appreciated. As I said, I am new to this so please
don't be too technical in your explanation. Step by Step is always good
for me. :-)
One other thing is that I did not add this line any where:
export PATH=/usr/local/jdk116_v5/bin:$PATH
What file is that to be added in, or does the alias take care of that?
Thanks again,
