HI,

had to download a java addon to enable me to d/l some software, and it shows as <filename>-rpm.bin, how do i go about installing it ?

checked and the chmod -x command that the install instructions say might be needed cannot find the file.

i'm in the directory where it was d/l to (Desktop) and logged in as root to make sure access isnt a problem .


thanks.....
 
comes back with the message :
bash: ./jre-6ul-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory

this is the process i went through:

[markpitchford@localhost Desktop]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost Desktop]# ls jre*
jre-6u1-linux-i586-rpm.bin
[root@localhost Desktop]# ./jre-6ul-linux-i586-rpm.bin
 
What OS? Gnome or KDE?

on mine

make it executable

right click the file
select properties
select permissions
then tick allow executing

right went slightly further this time, click on it and it brings up the agreement, i agree to that it starts processing then the terminal window shuts, i attempt to run the download i'm after and it still insists the plugin is not added :(
 
nice one m8 worked a treat :D, no idea what i did wrong on you're previous instructions as they seem exactly the same so sorry for wasting u're time :(

installed ok no errors but the site you linked had a test, ran that and the indication is its not installed correctly, any idea how i can figure out whats wrong ?

that site was the official java site, if that dont work then your in trouble.

EDIT:

i just tested my installation which definately works and i got the error message too.

tried reinstalling and it seems to install fine, no errors come up on screen or anything but the test still does not display what the site says it should :(.

Test it on a 3rd party site.
