The slackbuild is for JDK 8, they give a download link even though it won't work. jdk-8u202-linux-i586.tar.gz <https://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u202-b08/1961070e4c9b4e26a04e7f5a083f551e/jdk-8u202-linux-i586.tar.gz> (ddae517017646fc180d5241260d515e8)
Note the version, you downloaded JDK 11. So no, it won't work. Go back to the downloads page and scroll down. They offer the same set of downloads with a different version. I don't see a reason why you would need anything other than JDK version 8 or openjdk. On Thu, Feb 7, 2019 at 8:38 PM Dick Steffens <[email protected]> wrote: > I tried to install the jdk SlackBuild.
