[William Mak]

Hello

I have download a copy of j2sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin for redhat linux, but i dont know how to install it. Where do i place it? Do i need installation? Do i need path? How to set path if required? Please help if you dont mind.

Best regards

For Oracle8i, you must install Java Runtime Environment.(orainst is replaced by GUI)
Download JRE, http://www.blackdown.org
select libc5 version for RH 5.2 and glibc version for RH 6.0 and later.
Copy JRE to /usr/local
Uncompress and create a symbolic link to /usr/local/jre.
# cd /usr/local
# tar zxvf jre_1.1.6-v5-glibc-x86.tar.gz
# ln -s jre116_v5 jre
Place /usr/lcoal/jre/bin into PATH
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/jre/bin; export PATH
