JDK 1.3 and Archlinux

Hi,

I can't manage to install the JDK 1.3.1 (Sun) on Archlinux 0.7. The install program fails and can't unpack the archive. The Blackdown jdk fails to install too.

I know j2re/j2sdk 1.4 are packaged on Arch, but i specifically need a working 1.3.1 version on this box.

Can you help me?

Re: JDK 1.3 and Archlinux

You probably need to run the installer as root, small chance that it's smart enough to let you choice where it puts its stuff.

Re: JDK 1.3 and Archlinux

I should have given more details  smile . The error shows up whatever your login.

The .bin installer displays this error:

tail: cannot open `+286' for reading: No such file or directory

I believe this is related to 'head' and 'tail' syntax changes. I think this installer can only work on platforms older than Archlinux.

As i fear linking problems with gcc 3.4 i wonder if  i can ever manage to have the installer work. A better way to have things work could be to use a chrooted older Linux.

Is there a standard Arch program to install an older Archlinux version in a subtree? I tried Archbootstrap as found in the forums, but it did not work for me.
