I'm trying to install Java SDK (jdk-7u7-linux-i586.rpm) on Linux CentosOS 5.8.

Im using this guide, and downloading everything from the Oracle website.

When executing rpm -Uvh /path/to/binary/jdk-7u7-linux-i586.rpm the package is installing java:

[root@ip-***-***-**-189 java]# rpm -Uvh jdk-7u7-linux-i586.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:jdk                    ########################################### [100%]

But after it finishes I get these errors:

Unpacking JAR files...
        rt.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/lib/rt.pack
        jsse.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/lib/jsse.pack
        charsets.jar...

        javaws.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/lib/javaws.pack
        deploy.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_07/jre/lib/deploy.pack

Though it seems like everything is installed right, as I do these checks:

[root@ip-***-***-**-189 java]# java -version
java version "1.7.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_07-b10)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 23.3-b01, mixed mode)

[root@ip-***-***-**-189 java]# javac -version
javac 1.7.0_07

[root@ip-***-***-**-189 java]# javaws
Java(TM) Web Start 10.7.0.10-fcs

I would still like to know:

  • What are these errors ?
  • Are they critical for running .jar files (I need to use Selenium on the server) ?
  • How can I install without these errors ?

I saw the same error, but on a manual inspection, the jar files were present and appeared to have been deployed properly. I believe it's safe to ignore the errors. Though, if there's yet another update out, I guess we're updating again...

I got the same errors. Ignore them and update to 7u9.

  • @Ward I see no big difference to Michaels answer. Apart from that I know that there is a more recent version out, which does not contain that errors (and has some severe security fixes). I see no reason to debug Oracles broken RPMs. They were not able to provide a proper jexec-init-script a very long time, too.
