Your trying to execute ./jre-6u31-linux-i586.bin in a location where it is not.

If you open Synaptic Package manager, type in the Search field Sun Java. You'll see the common files + extras.

Hope this helps.

For me, the easiest way is to manually install.

To get started, press Ctrl – Alt T. Remove all other installations of OpenJDK from your system.

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

After that, go and download Java JRE package from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...d-1591157.html

When prompted, save the download. Please select the 32 or 64 bit .tar.gz version file from the list.

then extract the java packages you downloaded.

tar -xvf ~/Downloads/jre-7u4-linux-i586.tar.gz

Next, create your java 7 folder by running the commands below.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0

Then move all the extracted files and folders into the java 7 folder.

sudo mv jre1.7.0_04/* /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/

Next, run the commands below to install / update java 7

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/jre1.7.0_04/bin/java 0

Next, create a plugin folder in your home directory by running the commands below.

mkdir ~/.mozilla/plugins

Finally, link the java plugin to your profile.

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/jre1.7.0_04/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

That’s it.

If your system profile is AMD64, then link java to your profile by running the commands below.

ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/

Removal/Updates

Removal is easy. Manually delete the ln file in .mozilla plugins and also the usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/*

Repeat the steps with the new file (executable)

Note: Upon executing the first command, you will receive an error. Execute it again to proceed with the new install.

No you wont.
It's been removed from the repositories for legal reasons.

If you dont mind using Oracle Java 7 it can be installed by doing:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

It works.

Thanks a lot.
