You could always go to www.sun.com and get the tar.gz file. All you would have to do then is move the tar.gz file to /usr/lib and uncompress it. I always point apps at where I have the java directory instead of changing the default softlinks as not to break anything. At one point I had 4 different numbered versions of Java because different programs were written against the different version numbers. As long as the app your using knows where java makes it's home. Your all good. * David Kanter (dkanter@rushu.rush.edu) [011229 19:51]: ->I'm having a problem installing the java2.rpm on my 7.3-personal system.
