Trying to install Java Runtime Environment.. having trouble

Hi

I just picked up an Aspire one today and am loving the little thing

Im trying to set it up to run Ventrilo and a nifty little program called maptool

Ive got Ventrilo running under wine without issue, but for maptool I need to install the JRE.. and it doesnt seem to be working for me.

Ive Downloaded the file jre-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin

and followed the instructions on the sun site which are as follows

1)at the terminal type su
2) enter the root password
3) change to the directory you want to install to
4) change the permissions of the file you downloaded: chmod a+x jre-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin
5 start the installation process: /jre-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin

all goes well until step 5 when I type in the command for step 5 it tells me bash: /jre-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin: No such file or directory.. and then i am stumped

anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

 

could it be that you need to type:

Code:

./jre-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin

 

yep, that seems to be it, im installing it now, Ill let you all know how it worked out.

Thanks for helping out a linux noob esperado

 

yeah, that was it, everything is up and running smooth, thanks
