java run time environment help !!

[daredevil]

hi all.......i hav installed JRE by downloading binary jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin file from the sun website... but when i tried to install azureus the following dependency occured.....

sriram@Home:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.3.0.6-1_all.deb
Password:
(Reading database ... 62294 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace azureus 2.3.0.6-1 (using azureus_2.3.0.6-1_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement azureus ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of azureus:
azureus depends on sun-j2re1.5 | java2-runtime; however:
Package sun-j2re1.5 is not installed.
Package java2-runtime is not installed.
dpkg: error processing azureus (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
azureus
sriram@Home:~/Desktop$

i know that by running the command

sudo apt-get -f install

the problem can be solved but whats wrong by installing JRE using .bin pacakage provided by sun......

Re: java run time environment help !!

do a search for j2re1.4 in adept, kubuntu package manager and install through that, then you will at least have java installed, its not the newest version, but in windows I upgraded to java 1.5 and have had nothing but problems with it, but none with java 1.4

hope it helps
later,
