OK. I downloaded the files jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586-rpm.bin
and java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.14-1jpp.i586.rpm .
I am attempting to follow the outline given in:
http://www.jpackage.org/installation.php
If I am following the instructions correctly, I should then do:
# yum localinstall java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.14-1jpp.i586.rpm
I get the following error message:
...

Error: Missing Dependency: jdk = 2000:1.5.0_14-fcs is needed by package
java-1.5.0-sun-compat
How do I tell yum that the jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586-rpm.bin file is in
the same directory??? Or do I have a different problem?
