Hi All,

I want to install sun JDK 1.5.0_11 in AIX 5.3 server. But I don’t know how to install.

Can anybody let me know the download link and how to install procedure?

I have downloaded the sun jdk 1.5.0_11 from Archive: Download Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 Update 11 site for Linux version.

I thought if I download Linux version JDK means; it will work in AIX 5.3.

But while installation it is throwing the following error.

Done.

Can any body help me on this..

This is the reason that IBM built own Java Versions for AIX installations. Have you tried any of them? Look here:
developerWorks : Java™ technology : IBM developer kits : AIX : Download and service information
If you still bet on SUN Java (because IBM does not offer a 1.5.0_11 Version) try to be on one of the latest TLs for AIX 5.3. As you can see on mentioned site above there is a minimum AIX Level for each Java Version.

Dear Seth,

So u are saying there is no sun jdk avilable for AIX operating system right.

Correct me if i am wrong.

If sun jdk is avilable means do u know the link to download the same.

Hi bvijaycom

What you got from SUN seemed to be a rpm package for redhat linux built with amd64 bit processors. Well that can't work. The power5/6 architecture from the Processors differs way too much from the amd64 bit processors. The other thing is that not every rpm packet could be installed on AIX, here is a list of all rpm packages which could be installed on AIX: IBM AIX Toolbox Download Page - Alphabetical Listing

I looked arround the SUN JAVA Webpage and could not even find a compileable source of JAVA 5 SDK for AIX. Even if you find it somewhere I would honestly dissuade from doing the compile stuff by yourself. Java itself has problems enough in the precompiled stuff you can download from the IBM site I posted in my first reply. By compiling it for yourself you add a possible error factor which is way too high. An the nice thing for the stuff from IBM site is, you got support for it you can call .

Cheers seth
