Installing 64bit Java 7 - Cannot Execute Binary File

view story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – So I downloaded the latest version of Java from Oracle so I could get a 64bit JVM on Ubuntu Server 10.10. After extracting the file and updating the alternatives I went to check my installation by running java -version and I get this error: -bash: /usr/bin/java: cannot execute binary file I'm at a loss for what to do here. My alternatives menu looks like this: Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/bin/java 1061 auto mode 1 (HowTos)

Stories similar to Installing 64bit Java 7 - Cannot Execute Binary File

I'm using a shared server.

I have newly started using linux mint (linux at all).

I have installed two jre versions on it. One openjdk and another oracle jdk.

Hello, the default java installation is openJDK.

/usr/bin/java -> /etc/alternatives/java /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64/bin/java

I want to install JDK 1.6, and executed this command:

Code: alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/java/jdk1.6.0_45/bin/java 20000 But the symbolic link does change at all. What might be wrong?

I've got java-6-openjdk and java-7-openjdk running on Natty (11.04) on one machine and successfully toggle between them using update-alternatives --config java (or javac).

For some reason this doesn't seem to work on a second machine of identical spec.

I've been following these steps and got up to the check version of new JRE installation part but java -version doesn't return anything.

I have run sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/bin/java and it returned update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.7.0/bin/java to provide /usr/bin/java (java) in auto mode so it's seems I did that part successfully.

It

that's just what I need. thanks, Domicide. How do I read the result? Does status auto mode means it'll be used automatically?

I am unable to run java from jdk. it says "cannot execute binary file" I downloaded the jdk again freshly but the problem still persists. All files have execution permission. Both OS and JDK are 64bit. Please help me out.

[XXXXX@YYYYYY bin]$ pwd /home/XXXXX/apache-tomcat-6.0.18/jdk1.5.0_14/bin

[XXXXX@YYYYYY bin]$ java bash: /home/XXXXX/java1.5/bin/java: cannot execute binary file

Compiling is easy but when using java to run the programs, it gives Exception found. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 without internet connections. Also, installed Oracle JDK7 and JRE7. Also did the update-alternatives command on java, javac and javaws. Changed the machine java in /etc/profiles. PATH is pointing to oracle java folder.

Problem with java3d 31 weeks 6 days ago

I want to play this java simulation: http://www.compadre.org/OSP/items/detail.cfm?ID=9640 in java 3d mode on a linux (ubuntu) system. But it doesn't work.

If I switch to java 3d-mode it complains that java 3d is not installed. sudo aptitude install libjava3d-java didn't help.

Then I did a right click in this java app and selected Diagnostics-> About Java 3D.
