Hi I have managed to install the self extracting binary on Ubuntu 7.10, but when I run "java -version" I get the following message.

gregory@dirge:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03$ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.2.1 (Ubuntu 4.2.1-5ubuntu5)

Does someone know how I can get the SUN JDK working? I have been searching for an answer and one of you guys/gals be of assistance.
