I did it by hand without using the rpm stuff (alien scares me a bit). It worked fine after downloading the right version of libstdc++ as well.

Hi, simple question: AFAIK there is no .deb of JDK 1.4 nor an installer .deb, but .tar.gz and .rpm files from javasoft.com. Is this right? If so, shall I use alien and install the .rpm or better use the .tar.gz? Is there a HOWTO about these things?
