Howto Install Sun JDK with EE into Ubuntu 10.4
This tutorial is for Ubuntu 10.4 Beta. 10.4 full release is only next month. Well here you go. Download Java for linux from the Oracle Sun website. Download the 32bit version of libstdc++5 from here: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/amd64/libstdc++5/download Make sure you get the 32 bit version. It would seem that the installer for Java requires that you have a 32bit version of this library installed. I think this is for the installer GUI only. Extract the library like this: dpkg-deb -x libstdc++5_3.3.6-18_i386.deb libstdc++5 Copy the library into /usr/lib32 sudo cp libstdc++5/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32/ Create a simlink to the file in /usr/lib32/ sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5 Now you can install java like this: ./java_ee_sdk-5_08-jdk-6u18-linux.bin All done!
