Fixed it myself. When I installed the Java rpm, I saw that /usr/bin/java pointed to /etc/alternatives/java, i removed it and pointed /usr/bin/java to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/bin/java, and it went fine. very strange, -Jesse
???
And what did /etc/alternatives/java point to? And why didn't you just make /etc/alternatives/java point to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_02/bin/java?
