Hello Slitaz community! Could you please help me? Im having difficulty installing java6-jre in Slitaz 4.
Through Tazpanel I installed "get-java6-jre", but in terminal as root, running it returns:

Is there something Ive missed? I need java because some online games are asking for it, and also for keepvid.com that I use in downloading youtube videos. Thank you!

I just followed the guide on adobe's website when I downloaded Java7 jre. The only pain is symlinking the programs to /usr/bin - they run great after that.

I tried that (started with same problem as Shintsan) but when running install I get "can't open tmp/tazpkg-3559/22935/receipt"
Any ideas?

Hi Chaps,
Just to let you know that the solution provided by Mojo, above, is small one step for man (i.e it worked for me), but I am still awaiting the giant step for mankind...In others words, is there a similar packages for Java JDK (Java Development Kit)?
And then I would walk on the moon. Of course.
Oh JDK! Is not that I am a develloper, but would need it to run some applications on my "computosaurus" (i.e. Old pentium 3 where slitaz is the only OS).
Thank,

@buenavist,
If your applications runs with Java 1.6, you can install the java-jdk package.

Well I would like; but in the packages manager when I type jre there are 3 proposals for a version 6 of java jre. Super! ... None of them works (just wonder the point of keeping those there since they are not up to date ...)
The only thing that helped me is the post of Mojo above, but it s version 7.
Any idea?

I found something.
If you had installed java-jdk with:
# tazpkg -gi java-jdk
You need to create some symbolic links pointing to java binaries. Try:
subox ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-icedtea/bin/java /usr/bin/java
Now you can open .jar applications with:
java -jar application.jar

Thank you mscythe I realy appreciate your help,
I tryed to follow your way but unfortunately the packages java-jdk doesn't provide with any libnpjp2.so on my computer.
However I found a way to work-it out:
I downloaded the java 6u_45 at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#top
and then followed the instruction at:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/manual-plugin-install-linux-136395.html
And finaly it almost worked on Midori and Firefox. The program I am using is for my job, I connect to my office computer trough a java-window that connect to my office-microsoft-computer.
On ubuntu that works more than fine. On slitaz, midori tell me that there is failure and that I should close my window, but when I continue it seems to works fine.
On firefox, the program open a window which allow me to re-open a session. If I close firefox and then re-open a session trough this pathway it works. Can drive me crazy that way of doing, it's not perfect, but it works.
In the end, I just wonder why there are some java-jdk, or other toons of "java" that simply doesn't work in the package manager of Slitaz!!! This because I am convinced they simply end-up to render slitaz unworkable!
Maybe I am not using the right mirror ... That's certainly it, but even the packages on the 3GB DVD didn't worked. That's pitty, I think I would have win a lot of time if those bugged packages would not have been there! Because I lost a lot of time trying using those!
Thank again.
Buenavist.

Glad that works.
About the packages, the java-jre and java-jdk install the IcedTea with OpenJDK (an open implementation of Java).
The get-java* packages install the Oracle Version.
I'm trying to fix the old icedtea6 packages but seems like they(IcedTea people) changed the compiling script and I couldn't create a new working package (I always get a strage error).
Anyway, I will create an OpenJDK 7 package and fix those java problems.

Thank, for me this is resolved, I am happy of what you said.
