I'm trying to install the GUI for R on SuSE 10.3. The package and instructions are from: http://rosuda.org/JGR/down.shtml

...

From here I tried to install Java from Yast but I got lost when I had to select a directory pathname. I browsed through the directory

Since I need the latest Java package I clicked on Linux Tips page There are no specific instructions for SuSe 10.3 so i kind of followed the instructions listed for SuSE 10.2 I clicked on SuSE Java page pub/opensuse/distribution on different mirror sites and was unable to find Java. I got lost in the maze of links that brought me nowhere.

Can you please sow me the right way ?

It is in the non-oss repository. Easiest way to add it is to use the community repository module of yast. After you have added at least the oss and non-oss directory, just do a search in the yast software manager and install all the java bits you need.

Hi Maura,

in case your problem persists, what is your java version on your machine? Find out with ex. "rpm -qa |grep java"

if you are getting multiple java packages or multiple versions of one package or both, this basically does not do any harm.

However I would uninstall anything that is unneeded or to low in versionno. , just for the sake of clarity.

Now if it works, enjoy.

If not, we need to find out, what the "java" command does (not) on your system.

I recall there was a bug. For example with an installed SUN JRE 1.6, I was not able to even issue the "java" command, before I repaired a broken link.

Do you remember which one that was? My java 1.6 no longer works. It did for a bit and I could run, say, eclipse. But something messed it up and I do not think the java itself is installed correct.

kind regards Eberhard
