Hopefully this alternate version will help those who don’t feel comfy with terminal. You can then finish the installation without problem. Once again, it will ask for your password. Then lauch the Java 6 intaller, as Nello said, but do not start the installation, and bring back the “Resources” folder to its’ right place from the trash (or the place you had moved it to). Since it is a protected folder, it will ask for your security password… Then select the “Resources” and move it somewhere else, or, as I did, delete it (but do NOT empty the trash!).
This will bring you to the hidden subfolder Nello accessed by terminal. System/Library/Frameworks/amework/Versions/A/ In the finder, go to the “Go” menu, and then “Go to folder”, and type in the command line nello gave : I find it simpler, since you don’t even have to use terminal… So here it is :
Glad to have found this, I've got computer on Yosemite that I wasn't going to upgrade because it has an old version of SPSS that requires Java 6. If anyone is interested, I found another way to do the trick Nello gave us before. Last time I checked, Apple wasn't going to support Java 6 on El Cap.
I’ve been looking for a while for a way to bring Java 6 onto my Tiger-running powerbook.
