Re: lots of Permision denied errors (Prev: Re: symlink errors while installing java)
i am having the exact same problem that this guy was having, i see lots of people have this problem but i find no solutions, please help.
**********************************************************************************************
I tried to troubleshoot these problems myself to no avail
in a previous note you suggest to run make-jpkg as root. However when I try
it I get:
root@0[root]# make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin
You are real root -- unfortunately, some Java distributions have
install scripts that directly manipulate /etc, and may cause some
inconsistencies on your system. Instead, you should become a
non-root user and run:
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin
which will allow no damage to be done to your system files and
still permit the Java distribution to successfully extract.
Aborting.
