Hi *,

while installing java on Linux I got symlink errors errors each time a
symlink was tried out:

linking: jdk1.5.0_05/man/ja -> ja_JP.eucJP

why is this happening?

Thanks

The output you showed did not include any errors, hence Gordon's question.

What do you *think* is the problem?

OK, it wasn't totally evident
.
I did redirected the output to a file but errors are still printed on
the screen.
.
Then I counted the symlink attempts and they were exactly the same as
the number of errors on the screen that is why I correlated them both
based on nature of the errors and count
.
is there a way to provide you with more debug info while going:
./jdk-1_5_0_<version>-linux-i586.bin ?
.
Why are these errors happening?
.

Redirect both standard out and standard error:

./jdk-1_5_0_<version>-linux-i586.bin > file 2>&1

Where have you asked it to install the JDK?

Well, I tried

./jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin > file 2>&1

after spacing out of the License Agreement and entering 'y' to start
installation I got a total of actually 4 symlink errors, each and every
time the compilation tried linking a file or directory

FYI, I am using knoppix and installing java on an externa drive

Is there anyoher piece of info you need from me?
