Does it exist a JDK 1.4.2 for Linux X86 64bit (not Itanium!!)

Hi Gurus,

I'm installing a NW7.0 on a Linux (x86_64).

As you know a JDK 1.4.2 needs to be in place before running sapinst.

However on SUN website there is no JDK for that type of machine. The itanium version doe snot work and if I installed a X86 (32bit) version I'm having problems with sapinst and requests a 64 version.

What I did is to download the JDK 1.5.0 for Linux x86_64 but I'm afraid that I may have later problems as the documentation just talks about 1.4.2.

How is it possible that the installation guide requests something that does not exist? Most probably I'm missing something.

Any help appreciated and points awarded.

Regards,

You need the IBM version. Run the Software maintenance tool in Linux, and search for "java" You will see the IBM JDK 64-bit listed, just install as is

Frank,

Thanks for your response. I have install it now and I'll try it tomorrow starting a new sapinst installation. I have such a headache after 14 hours of Linux that I can do it tonight. I'll get back to this tread tomorrow. Thanks.
