Did you install it in a similar way, i.e. in a non-default path after
extracting the RPM from the binary installer?

Hello,
I was looking into installing a Java JDK 1.6.0 on our Scientific
Linux 6
systems, and found it to fail.
We need to install Java under a non-default path, e.g. /path/to/java,
and therefore extract the RPM found on the Oracle website from the RPM
binary installer using:
./jdk-6u26-linux-x64-rpm.bin -x
We then install the RPM obtained this way as follows:
rpm --initdb --dbpath /rpm --root /path/to/java
rpm -i --dbpath /rpm --root /path/to/java --relocate /=/path/to/java
--nopre --nopost --nodeps jdk-6u26-linux-amd64.rpm
The last command is failing with:
error: Unable to change root directory: Operation not permitted
This way of installing the Java JDK has worked fine in our previous SL5
setup.
I should add that RHEL6 or SL6 is not listed as supported on the Oracle
website, see
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/system-configurations-135212.html
.
Has anyone been able to install an Oracle Java JDK 6 RPM on SL6 (or
RHEL6)?
greetings,
Kenneth

For SL 6 X86-64,
rpm -qa reports:
jdk-1.6.0_26-fcs.i586
From http://javatester.org/version.html
Java Version 1.6.0_26 from Sun Microsystems Inc.
for Firefox 5 current, Linux IA-32 version from firefox-5.0.tar.bz2
Note that I use the IA-32 version, not the X86-64 version, of Firefox
and Thunderbird.
