not only do you not have to install under root, but installing as root is a baaaaaaaaaaad idea.
Kaffe doesn't come with RedHat 8, so don't worry about that at all.
Also, don't run the LimeWire binary by typing "./LimeWireLinux.bin" use "sh LimeWireLinux.bin" also, I'm not entirely sure, but I didn't download the Java 2 SDK, I downloaded the Java 2 JRE, though, other than development tools, there
shouldn't be a difference.....
The instructions I gave in the last thread assumed that you DID NOT download the RPM version of Java. If you did, the file locations will be different, try using the command:
Code:
[ @localhost home]$ java -version
you should get the following output:
Code:
java version "1.4.1_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.1_01-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.1_01-b01, mixed mode)
if you don't, and you downloaded the RPM, you might try:
rpm -q java
if you get a result there, then remove the Java RPM binary with:
rpm -e java
My next suggestion would be to follow the directions to the letter in the post I linked to earlier. There's no reason to download the SDK version, unless you're going to be doing software development, so delete that, get the JRE, and try again. I know for a fact it will install, and there shouldn't be too much of a difference between your system and mine. If after doing that, it still doesn't work, then I'm not sure what exactly the problem would be, and someone else on this forum would have to help.
It's worth noting that I assume in my other post, that you downloaded everything to your home directory, if not, there will obviously be some changes.
Also, can you paste your bash_profile here? To check for syntax errors.
