I installed fastdebug build of JDK 6 (Linux x64 version, since there is no Ubuntu specific build) in /usr/lib/jvm directory, manually set during installation process. Installation completed successfully (at least such a message was showed at the end). Now I have /usr/lib/jvm/jdk.1.6.0_25/fastdebug/bin folder.

I ran this command to install (if it matters):

sudo java -jar jdk-6u25-ea-bin-b03-linux-amd64-debug-27_feb_2011.jar

When I run:

sudo update-alternatives --config java

I see all my JVMs (open jdk, sun, etc.) but there is no fastdebug build in the list to choose. I also ran the following:

sudo update-java-alternatives --jre -s jdk1.6.0_25

But it says:

"directory does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk.1.6.0_25"

Why so? The directory does exist! how to add this jdk to the list? I have the same problem with IBM's jdk. I also can't add it to the alternatives to select for the same reason ("directory does not exist..."). What did I do wrong?

PS. according to the information on the site, all files are made in fastdebug/bin and fastdebug/jre/bin directories executable using chmod command.

@Gigili: thaks for editing, but there is no Ubuntu 11.10 specific download, there is general linux version... so I do not understand your edit at this place... – Maxym Feb 11 '12 at 22:48
That's what you said: " I use Ubuntu 11.10" – Gigili Feb 11 '12 at 22:50
Anyway, you can rollback the edit if you disagree. – Gigili Feb 11 '12 at 23:03
guys, is it a problem without solution?? – Maxym Feb 13 '12 at 10:40

@Mitch That's a download link, so what you've said isn't quite applicable. I don't think it is (or ever was) the best download link for this, though. – Eliah Kagan Aug 26 '12 at 19:47
