Hi,
I got these instructions from the web on how to install JAVA 1.5 from the web: Download the file http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/non-free/SRPMS/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11-1jpp.nosrc.rpm Download Sun JDK 1.5 update 11 from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp. Make sure you download the "self-extracting file", not the "RPM in self-extracting file", and choose the correct architecture (IA64 for Itanium processor or i586 otherwise). Move the file into ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES mv jdk-1_5_0_11-linux-i586.bin ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES Build the packages: rpmbuild --rebuild java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11-1jpp.nosrc.rpm In the end, if everything was ok, some rpms are created inside ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586: java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-alsa-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-demo-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-devel-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-fonts-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-jdbc-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-plugin-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm java-1.5.0-sun-src-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm You may remove the file java-1.5.0-sun-src-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm Install the RPMs as user root: su - cd /home/<username>/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586 rpm -Uvh java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh java-1.5.0-sun-alsa-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm rpm -Uvh java-1.5.0-sun-plugin-1.5.0.11-1jpp.i586.rpm Configure the Alternatives system and choose the JDK you want (run as root): alternatives --config java Then try to execute java: java -version You should get: java version "1.5.0_11" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_11-b03) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode, sharing) ----------- The problem is when I try and use the rpmbuild command as per the second instructions my shell says says it does not recognize the command. I am using the default shelll that CENTOS uses. Any help would be appreciated... |

If /usr/bin/rpmbuild doesn't exist on your machine then "yum install rpm-build".

Why do you go though all this trouble , take a look at this
wiki http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS or the other method is to download the rpm from http://www.java.com and install via RPM command , then just link the java command to /usr/bin/java and run the alternative command to finish the business . |
