In SAP note 1172419 there's a URL to the IBM site to download this file (IBMJava2-AMD64-142-SDK-1.4.2-12.0.x86_64.rpm).

Download this file first (maybe register first).

These are the steps I've done next (but I'm not a Linux expert, just a newbie):

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.x86_64

yum install libXp.x86_64

/sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib64

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386

yum install libXp.i386

yum install compat-libstdc++-33.i386

/sbin/ldconfig /usr/lib

rpm -Uvh IBMJava2-AMD64-142-SDK-1.4.2-12.0.x86_64.rpm

ln -s -i /opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre/bin/java /usr/local/bin/java

Answer Y to the question

ln -s -i /opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre/bin/java /usr/bin/java

Answer Y to the question

java u2013fullversion

output: java full version "J2RE 1.4.2 IBM build j9xa64142-20080923 (SR12)"

I'm sorry but your reaction is a bit short.

I've mentioned that the IBM jdk can be downloaded by IBM at an url which is provided in a SAP note.

The other things are commands to type in a Terminal.

Please be more specific.

Please read the installation guides for the product you're trying to install. There you will find a reference to

Note 1048303 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x: Installation and upgrade

which tells you, which packages and separate libraries to be installed and what else has to be configured for RHEL 5 to prepare the OS for a SAP installation.
