How to install sun studio 12 under Centos 5???

Question

HI, all,
I am trying to install Sun Studio 12 into Centos 5. The followings are what I did:
1. Download sun studio 12 package by selecting Linex (x86) for Centos from web site and save this package under /var/tmp.
2. I used bzcat to unpack this package by:
bzcat < SunStudio12ml-linux-x86-200709-pkg.tar.bz2 | /bin/tar xvf -
3. I did prepare_system before installation by:
./prepare_system [-d /opt/sun/ ] [-R /var/tmp/ ] [-C | -s netbeans | java | patches | all_patches | jdk_patches | all | print_needed_steps ]
where [-d /opt/sun/ ] is the directory where all missing softwares will be installed, [-R /var/tmp/ ] is the directory where unpacked programs are saved.
After running prepare_system, the resposes are:
bash: -s: command not found
bash: patches: command not found
bash: all_patches: command not found
bash: all: command not found
bash: print_needed_steps: command not found
bash: jdk_patches: command not found
*Usage: gij [OPTION] ... CLASS [ARGS] ...*
to invoke CLASS.main, or
*gij -jar [OPTION] ... JARFILE [ARGS] ...*
to execute a jar file
*Try `gij --help' for more information.*
4. I started to use installer with command line to install the sun studio 12 by:
./installer -nodisplay
The result shows me some exceptions and installation is failed as:

I followed installation instructions to install sun studio 12 under Centos 5. I can not make it. However, I made it under Solaries system.
So, is there any special for Centos 5?

Hi,
Thank you for your helps.
According to your suggestions, I downloaded JDK 6 update 10 RC, specifical in Linux platform : self-extracting JDK file named:
jdk-6u10-bin-b28-linux-i586-21-jul-2008.bin
I saved downloading under the directory where sun studio is located.
I used
yum search jdk
to find jdk exists in Centos 5.2 shown as the message as:
[root@localhost sun]# yum search jdk
