Linux – Installing Java 32bit rpm on 64bit CentOS

32-bitcentosjavalinux

Downloaded the – jre-8u45-linux-i586.rpm

Opened console – su

mkdir /usr/bin/java [No java was installed before]
cd /usr/bin/java
rpm -ivh jre-8u45-linux-i586.rpm [Tried installing]
error: open of jre-8u45-linux-i586.rpm failed:no such file or directory

Clearly I have it on the desktop

Opened File System – /usr/bin/java, which I created

Tried moving the jre-8u45-linux-i586.rpm file from desktop to /usr/bin/java, but I get:

Error moving file: Permission Denied

So I have two problems

Installing the rpm package
Getting access to my own system

Sorry, I'm really new to Linux, and tried googling the problems, the solutions there are really complicated, I thought I don't have a complicated situation here.

First, you don't need to create /usr/bin/Java or any directory. Secondly, your invocation of rpm is pointing to the rom in the current directory, which is the directory you made, you would need to point to it as ~/Downloads/java....rpm. Finally, you should use yum to install rpms because it will help pull in any needed dependencies. yum install ~/Downloads/java...rpm. If you don't do this as root, you should make it like sudo yum ...

Installing Tomcat on CentOS 5 – Step-by-Step Guide

Is Tomcat6 the requirement? What version of Centos? (I'm assuming "Tomcat of some sort" and "current Centos" which would be 5.3 as of this writing)

You don't need the jpackage repo unless you want Tomcat 6. Also, Centos 5.3 ships with openjdk 1.6.0, which has passed the Java SE 6 TCK.

Simply "yum install tomcat5" should pull in all the dependencies you would need (including openjdk), many of which will be based off the jpackage sources. Once it's installed, all you need is "service tomcat5 start" to start it up. NOTE: Running your web container as root is very, very bad because it is a massive security risk. The tomcat5 service installed by the repository version will drop its permissions to a 'tomcat' user with more limited permissions. To have tomcat start automatically when the system boots, use "chkconfig tomcat5 on".

In your case above, the port 8080 is probably blocked by the default firewall. You can turn the firewall off (recommended only for testing connectivity, do not run without the firewall in production) with "service iptables stop". Centos provides both a GUI and Text UI tool (system-config-securitylevel and system-config-securitylevel-tui respectively) for modifying the firewall, or you can use iptables directly (see 'man iptables').

Linux – compiling 64 bit linux kernel with gcc

From your gcc -v output it looks as if you are running on a 32-bit machine, is that correct ?

Target: i586-redhat-linux

Try specifying --with-arch=x86_64 insterad of i586.
