I'm having problems with j2sdk-1_4_1 rpm package. The first time I tried to install the file, I received an error message telling me I had no space left and the installation was unsuccessful. No problem, I created plenty of space and tried installing again.
[usr@localhost]#rpm -iv j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm
preparing package for installation...
package j2sdk is already installed.
really???
[usr@localhost]#java -version
bash: java: command not found
hmmm...
so then I tried,
[usr@localhost]#rpm -e j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm
error: package is not installed
what?
so then I tried a force install
#rpm -Uvh --force --nodeps j2sdk blah blah..
Preparing... ######################[100%]
1:j2sdk ######################[100%]
And then....
[usr@localhost]# rpm -q j2sdk
package j2sdk-1_4_1_02-fcs-linux-i586.rpm is NOT installed.
I'm still pretty new to linux and I don't know what options I have left.
Does anyone have any suggestions that may help?
Thanks,
Mick
