I'm trying to install Java Release 5 on my Intel iMac, but with absolutely no success! It didn't work with Software Update so I tried a direct download from the Apple website. I was able to umpackage the DMG file, click on the Package file to initiae the install process, and all seemed to be going well until the very end when I received the following error: There were errors installing this package. Please try installing again.

I have absolutely no clue what might be causing the problem, so I don't know how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated. My Intel iMac specs are as follows:

Machine Model: iMac5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.16 GHz
Memory: 2 GB

In the installer, click Window:Installer Log. Post the relevant bits (probably at the end) here.

These are the error statements from the Installer log:

Run disk utility and see if your hd is corrupt at all. That, and you can repair permissions while you're at it.
