Hi all, Been having problems with java. Followed info on the Fedora site to make my own java-1.5.0.05 rpms with yum and then use the command to install them on my test FC4. The command was
from within /home/test/rpmbuild/RPMS
sudo yum localinstall *.rpm
The command executed okay and properly filled all dependencies. Java --version reports the proper version. So far okay. Got Tomcat4 installed as required by the program I am testing. It will not work with > 1.4.2 java.
So I have removed Tomcat with yum. Now how do I remove the list of java-1.5.0.05 rpms with yum. I have tried a variety of command forms without luck. Or do I have to try to remove them 1 by 1 with rpm -e? Tried this too, however, and rpm reports a slew of dependencies that may take a lifetime (exagggeration somewhat!) to figure out.
help appreciated. I have tried to read the yum docs without much success.
Thanks and a Happy New Year!
Bob
