Anne, I suppose you're refering to 'rpm-Uvh.... Yes, do it as
root. Just installing the j2re rpm takes care of making the needed
links for you, eg....
tom$ ll /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Dec 31 19:57 /usr/bin/java ->
/etc/alternatives/java*
..... adds jre to your path....
tom$ echo $PATH
/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:
/usr/lib/jre-1.4.0_01/bin:/home/tom/bin
... and takes care of anything else while it's at it ;) I don't
believe it's even neccesary to uninstall kaffe first, but I always
do.
