Can anyone confirm this?
It looks like Sun's release of JDK1.5 update 1 for Linux 32 bit arch,
as a bin file, is bad.
There are two problems:
1. When you execute the bin file, it doesn't install Java for linux,
it just turns into an RPM file.
The whole point of a bin file is so you are not tied to the redhat
distro.
2. If you use alien to install the rpm file, it installs java, but
every attempt to compile
results in the error message
"Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object"
There is no rt.jar file in the installed directory.
Has anyone recently installed Java 5 update 1 onto Linux?
Is the rpm download any better?
The download was done today from
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Is Sun's QA really that broken?
