Well, with Redhat based system like Fedora, yum seems to be the defacto
package manager of choice. So is it Fedora or Redhat ? Either way imo yum
should work.
Get yum, setup the repositories and you'll get well tested OSS softwares and
a powerful package manager on top of them all. RPM is kind of dead atm and
if you look at rpm.org, they are relaunching it. So, till then, get yum &
yumex and try to install the sun jdk from there. It's less of a hassle that
way.

And also, it'd be wise on your part to discuss yum in redhat/fedora
newsgroup rather than in c.l.j.programmer because you'd get more people
willing to help there with shorter time to get reply.

The OP said that they had "Redhat Linux 3 WS". They didn't mention Fedora.
If it is Redhat, it's bloody old.

They also don't mention where the RPM tried to install Java. They say that "
the bin and lib folder are not created", but not where they looked for those
subdirectories.

To the OP: Please place two spaces after the period at the end of each
sentence in your writing.
