\"Fedora<\/a> \"Java<\/a>
\nIt’s no secret that I’m no fan of Java applications, but its also a necessary evil that I generally need to have installed on my PC. I had a few problems getting it working on my Linux (Fedora Core 5) PC though – this is what I had to do.<\/p>\n

The Unofficial Fedora FAQ<\/a> got me started; however as I didn’t want the whole Java development kit (JDK) installed – just the Java runtime environment (JRE) I downloaded the RPM installer from the Sun Java download site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, I entered the following commands:<\/p>\n

su –<\/span>
\nchmod +x jre-1_5_0_08-linux-i586-rpm.bin<\/span>
\n.\/jre-1_5_0_08-linux-i586-rpm.bin<\/span>
\nyum –enablerepo=jpackage-generic-nonfree install java-1.5.0-sun-compat<\/span>
\nln -s \/usr\/java\/jre1.5.0_08\/plugin\/i386\/ns7\/libjavaplugin_oji.so \/usr\/lib\/mozilla\/plugins\/<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m not sure why the link is from the mozilla plugins folder, not from \/usr\/lib\/firefox-1.5.0.6\/plugins\/ (as I would have expected from a LinuxQuestions.org forum post on the subject<\/a>) but after a browser restart, I was able to successfully test the Java installation<\/a>, which was correctly identified as Sun Microsystems Inc. Java version 1.5.0_08 on Linux OS version 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
