JDK source install instructions seem to be slightly incorrect.

Rather than using this for the source install: ............................................. cp -v -a j2sdk-image /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0 && chown -v -R root:root /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0 && ln -sf motif21/libmawt.so /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/ ............................................. I had to use something like this for the source install: ............................................. install -v -d /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0 && cp -v -a j2sdk-image/* /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0 && chown -v -R root:root /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0 && ln -sf motif21/libmawt.so /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0/jre/lib/i386/ .............................................

What was the error that you got with the method in the book?

[DJ Lucas]

Issue was tracked down to an 'install' command that created an /opt/jdk/jdk-1.5.0 directory and a 'cp -a' where the book expets to see no existing direcorty. Closing bug as invalid.
