How did you attempt to install it? And from what source did you obtain it from?

Hi Michael Tully,

I download the JRE from HP http://www.hp.com/products1/unix/java/archives/index.html

But my HP B2600 workstation is standalone system so wat i do is download the JRE depot file to my win2k PC then use FTP to transfer the files over.After that,i use swinstall to install the jre & use tar to untar the file.i'm not sure wats goin wrong...do i need the patches for 10.20 to run JRE?? Plss help...

Hi,

Two things:

Did you receive any error messages at all during the installation?
Second, invest some time in having a look at some patches for this release. Note that the product has actually been discontinued. All the more reason to look at patches.

The patches required by the java runtime are to prevent problems with the underlying native methods that java employs and are documented at the java web site as a "patch info" link within the "download" page.
As far as that file goes, have you tried to find it inside of the java runtime? It should be somewhere in the /opt/java. On my 10.20 machine it is /opt/java/lib/PA_RISC/green_threads/libjava.sl. Does it in fact exist on your machine?
What is JAVAHOME equal to? Is it set or set incorrectly? Can you play around with JAVAHOME to see if that will allow the JVM to find the library.
Is /opt/java/bin in your PATH?
