gamingahole12 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 A few weeks ago, I installed a java rpm and my java worked just fine. Now I can´t find it again, and I´m forced to install it the hard way, from the java websites instructions, and I can´t seem to figure it out. http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#rpm I follow all the instructions for the Linux RPM self-extracting file, and it seems to go successfully, but I just can´t get java to work on my firefox. Any of you have experience with this sort of problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medo3891 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Why don't you just install java from the Mandriva repositories. Add them as per instructions here: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Basic_tas...tions_available Then install java from mcc. You need java-1.6.0-sun and its dependencies.

Greg2 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I installed a java rpm and my java worked just fine. Now I can´t find it again I don't understand what you are saying? If you didn't uninstall (remove) it, it 'should' still be there. Did you upgrade Firefox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you upgrade Firefox?I think he means he can't find the .rpm he originally used. The OP has an interesting nick choice though :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would I get this .sun file? And what´s mcc? I don't understand what you are saying? If you didn't uninstall (remove) it, it 'should' still be there. Did you upgrade Firefox? Woops, forgot to mention I wiped my hard drive. Now the RPM package I used is well...nowhere to be found. The OP has an interesting nick choice though Not really. Just that I´m a gamer and an asshole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Where would I get this .sun file? And what´s mcc? mcc is Mandriva Control Center. Type mcc from the command line to bring it up or (in KDE): Menu Tools System Tools Configure Your Computer If you configure your repositories of software as described in the link given by medo3891, you will find the java rpm file listed from within mcc under Software Management.
