Browsing the instructions on that site it says I *must* have
jpackage-utils but thats not available either in browsing the site,

in the mirrorlist site.
FC6 includes a jpackage-utils to support the derivatives mentioned
below.
And yum says a 1.6.6 version of that is installed. But following the
files paths displayed by yumex for that archive, its not there. 2 of
the files listed:
/usr/share/build-classpath
/usr/share/java-utils/build-classpath-directory
The only thing at that location is:
[root@coyote java-utils]# ls
java-functions
It should, I'd think, have an executable, but it's invisible to me.
Somebody bring a chain saw, I can't see the trees for all this forest.

OK Back away from the keyboard, tyake a few deep breaths, close your
eyes, and count slowly to 10.
Then
rpm -qV jpackage-utils
No output
So the RPM is properly installed.
rpm -ql jpackage-utils
Is a list of files as you said.
Then observe that the files you mentioned above are in /usr/bin, not in
/usr/share.
On this box, the file I showed is in /usr/share. But the yumex screen for
showing the file contents also showed /usr/share. But hell, I've been
Yes, *that* file is in /usr/share, but the others are in /usr/bin.
"rpm -q jpacakge-utils" does show jpackage-utils-1.6.6-1jpp.8, right?
And
$ locate build-classpath
/usr/bin/build-classpath
/usr/bin/build-classpath-directory
?
screwing with this for about 36 hours so far and have only succedded in
making FF even more unstable than it is. If it would just toss a can't
find file such-and-such error message, that would be extremely helpfull,
but it simply, quietly, instantly goes away. I've been running it from a
shell all this time hoping it might get to feeling talkative. But its
mute, while I'm getting dumber.
And I'm not really sure what's up with your Firefox, though there are some
other folks trying to get that working for you. I'm just trying to get
your Java installed now.
Apparently, Sun has GPL'ed their Java, so soon this maddening nosrc RPM
stuff will be an anachronism.
