    No idea?

    Maybe you can try installing JRE straight from the source. Thats how I got it to work.

    I have good experience installing Suns rpm files with:
    Code:
    rpm2tgz *rpm&&rm *rpm&&installpkg *tgz
    Can't tell an OS by it's GUI

    As root, issue this command after installing new software:

    ldconfig

    Then try again.
