I am trying to do a source build in and MUST have Sun 1.6 installed


Phil,

This is what I did to have the sun JDK running on my F8 system. It is probably over kill,but I have NEVER had a problem.

Get the latest from sun as a linux self extracting file. I installed it under/usr/local/java.


I then made two symbolic links.  One that points to the installed jdk, but is called jdk:

/usr/local/java/jdk -> /usr/local/java/jdk1.6.0_05

I do this so that the next time I install a new java, I only need to point/usr/local/java/jdk to the new directory.


Then I have a symbolic link to the /usr/local/java/jdk

 /usr/jdk -> /usr/local/java/jdk

Then I wrote a script that fixes all of fedoras' alternative cruft

__BEGIN__
#!/bin/bash

if test -f /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/jarexec
then
  echo '-1' > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/jarexec
fi
if test -f /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
then
  echo ':jarexec:M::PK\x03\x04::/usr/jdk/jre/lib/jexec:' \
    > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/register
fi

__END__

Then I put in /etc/profile.d the following to set the paths, etc:
Call it jdk.sh

__BEGIN__
# Java Developers Kit

# This test keeps the package from ever being sourced twice.  So you
#  can feel free to include packages in other packages that need them.
#

THREADS_FLAG=native; export THREADS_FLAG

JAVAWS_HOME=/usr/jdk/jre/javaws

JAVA_HOME=${JAVAHOME}
JAVA_BASE=/usr/local/java

JREHOME=${JAVAHOME}/jre

ANT_HOME=/usr/local/java/ant

if ! echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${JAVAHOME}/bin ; then
   PATH=${JAVAHOME}/bin:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
fi

export JAVAHOME JAVA_HOME ANT_HOME PATH JREHOME JAVAWS_HOME JAVA_BASE
__END__


Good luck.
