rough notes for install pubman on vm30[edit]
jdk (sun x64 1.6.0_26) install[edit]
- no sun jdk as standard in OpenSuse or SLES distribution (licensing reasons)
- default OpenJDK install
- on vm30, Sun 1.6.0_06 was installed (very old by now).
- Download from Oracle Java SE download page (linux x64 rpm binary)
- deinstallation of (all) java components with yast (ignore dependencies)
- manual install of rpm binary from oracle.
- update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_26/bin 20
- now /usr/bin/java is symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/java - which is probably updated behind the scenes by
- update-alternatives --config
- Setting JAVA_HOME is almost certainly still going to be necessary, pretty well every OS-Script will test for it.
postgreSQL (8.3) install[edit]
uninstall with yast (+ userdel on postgres user).
