Hey Everyone.. having a lot of issues with jre-6u23-linux-i586.bin and jre-6u23-Linux-i586-rpm.bin.!! Neither is going the way it should and I've followed the instructions flawlessly for both types of packages from java.com,- plus a lot of other links. I've tried it 7 ways to Sunday-=> considering I'm currently having alot of java jre jdk jvm JAVA! problems,.. everything i do (alien) runs into dependency problems. Am I also having permission errors?? sounds like it {I'm using and Dell Dimension 8200 series, Linux Mint 10.10 [meerkat] fresh install} someone please help and put an end to my misery.
