    Angry Installing Java on Fedora 14?

    I downloaded Java from the Java website, and went into the root to try and make it an executable file, and it says "chmod: cannot access `home/Non-Admin/Downloads/jre-6u25-linux-i586-rpm.bin': No such file or directory". Is there some sort of program I can install that will automatically turn the rpm.bin/.bin into an executable file? This is frustrating, but persistance is key.

    Hi,

    Could be just a simple error.

    chmod 755 /full/path/of/the/downloaded/java-jre

    If you have Gnome, System > Search for files

    When your jre is listed, simply right click it and change it's Properties.

    I don't have Gnome, but I ran "sh (downloaded path)/file name" and I got "Unpacking...

    And it says it installed, but still no java?

    Fedora's is from Redhat

    That output tells you, you java/jre is installed.

    But it's still not working? I tried to test the version on the Java site, and it says "How do I test whether Java is working on my computer? Something is wrong. Java is not working"
    Are there any other things you suggest?
