Error thrown in update-alternatives

Question

I am trying to install jdk for 32-bit OS. Followed the below steps,

1. wget --no-cookies --header \"Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com\" http://down

Answer 1

Instead of Step 4 : 4. mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/javac /usr/bin/javaws

Just use

$mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm

and make sure that you are moving the files to usr/lib/jvm , for that use

$mv -v jre1.6.0_34 /usr/lib/jvm/

so that you can see the details and after installation change the configuration of java and javaws by :

$update-alternatives --config java

select from the option similarly ,

$update-alternatives --config javaws

this should work if you have already another java installed
