Mulitiple lines on one line and : delimited 1

[screwloose]

How do I print these lines so it is a single line with each path delimited by a colon )?

/usr/j2se/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/sparcv9/libawt.so
/usr/java1.2/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/usr/openv/java/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/SunVTS_5.1_PS5/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/smc/disk1/JDK1.4.2_03/Solaris/SUNWj3rt/reloc/j2se/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/WBEM_DR_1.0/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/SunForum_3.2/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/Sun_Fire_B10n_Load_Balancing_Blade_1.1/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/SunATM_5.1/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/RSC_2.2.2/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/OpenGL_1.3/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/Capacity_on_Demand_1.0/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/System_Service_Processor_3.5/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so
/mnt/sol9/supp/SunVTS_5.1_PS5/.install/JRE/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so

For example (using 4 lines of those above) I want:
/usr/j2se/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so:/usr/j2se/jre/lib/sparcv9/libawt.so:/usr/java1.2/jre/lib/sparc/libawt.so

Thanks.

Something like this ?
tr '\012' ':' </path/to/input >output

Hope This Helps, PH.
