I did as suggested, selected 4 and got the following:-

norman at gruber:~/Desktop/AstroStack3LE $ update-alternatives --config
java

There are 4 alternatives which provide `java'.

  Selection    Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
      1        /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0
      2        /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.1
*+    3        /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java
      4        /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 4
Using `/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java' to provide `java'.
update-alternatives: unable to make /etc/alternatives/java.dpkg-tmp a
symlink to /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/bin/java: Permission denied

What have I done wrong?
