Problem:
You receive the following eror when attempting to install the Java JDK from the sun website on RedHat:
/jdk-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin: ./install.sfx.29746: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory
Solution:
The fix for me was to use the 64bit version of the JDK installer. You can determine if you are on 32bit or 64bit by running:
uname -a
If you get something like this, you likely are trying to install the 32bit version like I was:
Linux servername 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5xen #1 SMP Mon Mar 1 11:11:42 EST 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Sidenote - You can find the latest Java JDK here:
