mystified Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 I am trying to install java for mandriva 2006. I downloaded, followed the instructions but got the response that it couldn't locate it. So I did the following: [root@localhost mystified]# updatedb [root@localhost mystified]# slocate j2re /home/mystified/Desktop/j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586-rpm.bin /home/mystified/Desktop/j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.rpm [root@localhost mystified]# cd Desktop/ [root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -iv j j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.rpm j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586-rpm.bin [root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -iv j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586 error: open of j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586 failed: No such file or directory Um, it's there but it's not there? New one for me. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 You need to write the whole filename i think; # rpm -iv j2re-1_4_2_13-linux-i586.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystified Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Duh! I didn't notice the - and the . and was expecting it to end at rpm. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
