Running on fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 64b server. Any idea what is going on?

[sbrattla]

I got the same error. Here is what I did.

1. According to https://github.com/rraptorr/sun-java6/issues/8, you need to "manually" download the i586.bin and x64.bin files (JDK) files. In my case, these files were jdk-6u35-linux-i586.bin and jdk-6u35-linux-x64.bin. Copy these files to /var/local/oab/pkg
2. Run ./oab-java.sh. The reason you get the error is that the files you just downloaded couldn't be downloaded (for some reason). For me, things now worked very well.

[fuho]

Thanks! I will try that as soon as I can. For now I installed it manually. The downloading part is the biggest pain imho, you have to locate them, login/create account, then sftp them to your server :(, the rest is pretty easy.

[kyeongsoo]

sbrattla,

What is your operating system? Mine is 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.

I solved the downloading issues with some tweaking, but failed in building the packages as mentioned in issue #56.

[sbrattla]

@kyeongsoo : my operating system is 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 (Rackspace Cloud Server).

[sbrattla]

@fuho : yes, I agree it's a pain...it would be great if it was automatic (which after all is what the oab-java package is all about). However, as a workaround it's not that hard to do (once you've figured it out). No need to log in on sun, just go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u35-downloads-1836443.html to get the packages.

[kyeongsoo]

@sbrattla : Many thanks for the response. BTW it's strange because I cannot build packages even though I am using the same operating system as you.

[fuho]

Thanks for info @sbrattla, that link is definitely useful. I clicked myself all the way to downloads from Oracle.com and they made me sign up. Thanks cthulhu for 10minutemail.com ;)

Oh, could this be helpful to you?

wget -O - -o /dev/null http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6u35-downloads-1836443.html | egrep -o "download\.oracle[^\"]+"

But I guess the problem is finding the link, not grepping it...

[sbrattla]

@kyeongsoo : weird...don't really know what that could be besides from maybe permissions? Try running it as root and see what happens?

[sbrattla]

@fuho : thanks!

[fuho]

@sbrattla I am back at the beginning :(
I have now downloaded the packages manually, and then uploaded them to '/var/local/oab/pkg' the script now fails with:

[x] Downloading jdk-6u35-linux-i586.bin :    http://: Invalid host name.                        11
669's retcode: 1
failed

How did you get the script to not check for the files online?

[wilki2021]

For those having trouble with the download step, change line 278 of oab-java6.sh to:
DOWNLOAD_INDEX=grep -P -o "/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk${JAVA_VER}u${JAVA_UPD}-downloads-\d+\.html" /tmp/oab-index.html | uniq

There is an extraneous '-' character in the download path in the committed version.

[fuho]

Mine looks like this (after git clone)

DOWNLOAD_INDEX=`grep -P -o "/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk${JAVA_VER}-downloads-\d+\.html" /tmp/oab-index.html | uniq`

And it's on line 443

[fuho]

But addidng "u${JAVA_UPD}" seems to have done the job, thanks.

Now the script gets stuck here:

Yeah - sorry. Just realized I was on an older version of oab-java6. You have the right line number and fix.

[fuho]

Don't be, I didn't mean to correct you :) I just wanted to be sure I am looking at the right line, thanks for help. Now I got a step further, looking into the other errors now, so far I have no clue what to do. But this probably isn't a problem with "oab-java6".

[fuho]

Srsly, fu*ck Oracle. Installing Java shouldn't be this difficuilt....

[sbrattla]

I didn't really correct anything in the oab-java. I see that you are all referring to the file 'oab-java6.sh'. Is that what it is called? The one I've been using is 'oab-java.sh'. Just to make sure we are all on the same page.

[fuho]

oab-java6 is the project name/dir name

oab-java.sh is the script name.

BTW I had to remove the check for amivirt because it is causing trouble.
And how are you supposed to install java when it's compiled and packaged? I just went to the dir and dpkg -i all i wanted. Is there better way? Because I haven't found any new repos on my system.
