similar to: Help I cant find where Java is installed.

I couldn't help but take notice at some of the responses that were coming in from when I was posting questions due to my ignorance of Linux. Some people were quick to help, some advanced users I am sure ignored me because im not worth their time, and then some other users tried to help but was unable to dumb their speech down to newb levels. However I am thankful that there is people here to

Ok guys a quick newb question. I have been reading up on the Red Hat Enterprise 4 for dummies book along with installing and playing with the configurations of Cent OS 4. I have yet been able to find any information on how to find out what your IP address is. I have it set to use DHCP from our Windows server and I looked under the network card configuration settings but can not find any command or

Thanks for the help guys. To resize my screen I had to go through the GUI part and change it but unlike Microsoft it makes me reboot in order for it to take affect which sucks. The Ctrl Alt +/- does not work. As for adding a printer someone finally gave me the link to the correct document which showed how to do it. I received a link where you can download the CentOS manual in PDF format:

strugging with things here... tried tracking the info on the Wiki (which apparently is now in need of a maintainer)... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/JavaOnCentOS My primary interest is using Xalan/Saxon/xslt/xsl-fo docbook generation. I was thinking that all I really need is jre but downloaded both jre and jdk just in case. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (after removing both jdk

I lost my harddrive, and have had to reinstall. This time, I am being a bit smarter on imaging, but still got to get things installed... Installing Freemind. It needs Java JRE. So after lots of pain, and reading past messages, I got jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.rpm from sun and installed it. Then I tried to follow Jim Perrin's recommendation to install from jpackage.org the

Hmmm, I seemed to have created a misalignmnet somewhere along the line. I can't remember doing anything to this. But at one time I did try to test the java open source. Posted my results to the list, got no response, abandoned all hope and went on my merry way. I don't know if this is related. I have installed an rpm for a java needed by an application I run. It was from the official

Hey, y'all. I don't know how many folks here are familiar with a blogging program called 'pebble' http://pebble.sourceforge.net, but it's *supposed* to be an easy drop-in to a tomcat5 container. I suppose that it is, once I figured out how to get tomcat 5 working in CentOS 5, but I'm still having problems with the java. CentOS comes with Java 1.4.2, but I need Java

Have the jpackage-packaged things like tomcat5 been moved into the disto repositories? Do they work with sun java? In particular, tomcat5 used to require jta. The one yum installs doesn't mention it now, but it also doesn't work with sun java 1.5 installed the jpackage way. What am I missing? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers is needed by package java-1.4.2-gcj-compat I'm digging all over the place for this one. Has anyone a clue??

I am completely new to Wine so excuse the stupidity of this question. I recently installed Wine from RPM. I run Fedora core1, and began trying to run variopus .exe files that I got from various places (mostly trial versions of software but also quick time). What i found is that the programs seem to run but the fonts are complete jibberish. (like weird arabic or greek symbols instead of

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to centos and having trouble upgrading java's jdk1.4 to jdk1.5. I assume I have to get the jdk from jpackage, but I'm having trouble locating it, let alone finding any instructions on how to upgrade. Much appreciated if anyone can help. Thanks!

Hi. I googled for this thoroughly but couldn''t find any module that actually worked. Is there any good puppet module or manifest for installing Sun JDK?

Hi Trying to run up a JVM on a box thats running 4.2 - The JDK version is j2sdk1.4.2_03 and the exact error is below Unable to load native library: /opt/j2sdk1.4.0/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so: symbol __libc_waitpid, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference any ideas thanks

Hi, I was wondering if there is a rpm package for java (jre) to centos 4.x or do I have to get from sun/ibm/blackdown ? tks.

For the people who are currently interested in java as it relates to centos now that Sun has GPL'd java there are some things to be aware of. The folks at jpackage.org are pretty much all over this development but it's not the bright shiny news everyone has made it out to be. Sun did a very good thing by moving java under the GPL, and they should be commended for FINALLY seeing the light

What is the official method to install Java on Centos? I searched, but could find no mention of Java on the Web site. Ted Miller Centos 4.3 x86_64 Indiana

This is not specifically a CentOS question but it relates to a problem I am having on CentOS-3. I though someone here might have come across something similar before. I use the JPackage provided java-1.4.2-sun-compat but it has recently switched arch from noarch to i586. Yum understandably refuses to upgrade this package. Should I bother with yum or just upgrade it manually? John. --

Johnny, Thought I'd try these out for you.
