Im using ubuntu Linux 9.04 which recently lost connection with upgrades on add/remove so i have to install Java the manual way. i got it all the way to where you have to Create the symbolic link with/ ln -s <directory> / well i keep getting creating symbolic link `./libnpjp2.so': Permission denied. why is it denying it?

That OS is at End-Of-Life (EOL), you need to upgrade to a supported version of Ubuntu.

Java is about 1/4th the way down the installation checklist.
