RPM doesn't work

[happypandaface]

I just got it using:

apt-get install rpm

and tried to install Java using

rpm -iv jre-6u7-i586.rpm

But it just immediately give me his line:

rpm: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libbeecrypt.so.6: undefined symbol: mpzero

I tried installing beecrypt from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/beecrypt

And when I tried to ./configure it, it gives me this at the end, after its made the Makefile:

config.status: executing aesopt.x86 commands
./config.status: line 1403: m4: command not found
config.status: executing mpopt.x86 commands
./config.status: line 1406: m4: command not found
config.status: executing sha1opt.x86 commands
./config.status: line 1409: m4: command not found

Then trying 'make' in this directory gives me this:

make[3]: *** [_bc-py.lo] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/Desktop/Downloads/beecrypt-4.1.2/python'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/Desktop/Downloads/beecrypt-4.1.2/python'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scott/Desktop/Downloads/beecrypt-4.1.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

How do I fix this?

What distro are you running? Isn't there a sun java package for your distro?

I don't know. I'm running ubuntu 8 home right now. I've been trying to install Java for a day.

Ok, do you know how to fix this? Do you have any idea what the problem may be? I tried getting Java through the add/remove programs in ubuntu but it doesn't work in the browser.

You need to install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin in order for java to work correctly in your browser.
