Oracle Linux and Java 7u10

980076Dec 14 2012 — edited Dec 17 2012
Hi all,

I installed Oracle Linux Server 6.3 selecting "software Development System" (java 1.6.0 comes with it).
but I need to use Java 1.7
So I downloaded jdk-7u10-linux-x64.rpm

when I try to install it, I get the following error.

Unpacking JAR files...
rt.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/rt.pack
jsse.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/jsse.pack
charsets.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/charsets.pack
localedata.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/ext/localedata.pack

I can't uninstall java 1.6 because other rpm uses it.

Can someone tell me what the "proper" way to install Oracle Linux and Java 1.7 should be?
OR is there a Oracle Linux Server 6.4 coming out soon with Java 1.7 as its default package set ;-)

thanks in advance,
c.w.
