intellij installation fails on fedora 3

It could be that you just have a bad download. The installer that you are running also has its own JVM and unpacks it to the tmp directory. So it does not matter witch version of Java you have installed.

Also make sure you have enough disk space.

BTW, that was supposed to be "which" not "witch" in the previous post.

i have enough disk space. i just installed fedora. and it can't be a bad download because i used it on yoper with kde and it worked perfect.

I have IDEA running on fedora core 3 without issue, so I don't think it is a fedora problem. I can also install it using root or a regular user account. Sorry, but I don't think I have an answer for this one. Maybe someone else in this forum could help out.

You have to download and install xorg-x11-deprecated-libs package:

i've tried running it as root and giving it all the permissions it needs. what's wrong?

Working fine on my FC3 machine, installed using the RPMS I've rolled
into a yum-repository, works well for me.
