Java 1.6 on HP-UX 11.23 fails with library load issue

[Varamo]

Hello all,

Could you please help me to resove following situation. Starting from some of HP-UX patches I installed from bundle my Java6 installation is unable to work:

[/opt]#ll /opt/java6/bin/java
-r-xr-xr-x   1 bin        bin         110264 Mar 18 10:38 /opt/java6/bin/java

[/opt]#file /opt/java6/bin/java
/opt/java6/bin/java:    PA-RISC2.0 executable dynamically linked -not stripped

[/opt]#/opt/java6/bin/java
Error: could not find libjava.sl
Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

I'm confused why *.sl library is being searched on IA64 platform while *.so library should be in this case.

Problem is only on 1 system (HP-UX 11.23 IA64). I checked several version of java6 (10,13,14,18) and all of them fail with same problem. In the same time binaries from folder /opt/java6/bin/IA64N and IA64W are working good:

[/opt]#/opt/java6/bin/IA64N/java -version
java version "1.6.0.18"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0.18-jinteg_18_mar_2013_03_35-b00)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 20.14-b01-jre1.6.0.18-rc2, mixed mode)

Also I have no problems with same version of Java on 11.31 version of hp-ux.

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S.

I installed all recommented patches (linker/Aries) for this version of Java.

Because bin/java wrapper is a PA executable, whether you are on PA or Integrity.

You need to find out why libjava.sl is missing from that system.

You can try the following on your system.  On 11.31 it shows it needs libjli.sl.

$ SDKROOT=/usr/ccs/pa ldd  /opt/java6/bin/java
 ...

       libjli.sl =>    /opt/java6/bin/../jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0/jli//libjli.sl

>binaries from folder /opt/java6/bin/IA64N and IA64W are working

Naturally, that bypasses the PA wrapper.

I have same picture for ldd command you've suggested on both 11.23 and 11.31 (libjli.sl is there in dependencies).

Library libjava.sl doesn't exist on both systems in /opt/java6 folder and this is my problem for 11.23 version.

Looking more closely at the error message, indicates is isn't coming from dld.

>Library libjava.sl doesn't exist on both systems in /opt/java6 directory

Then you'll need to use tusc to see which process is producing the message.

Also, have you compared the environment variables between the two systems?

Thanks for you idea with tusc.

I found that on both 1123 and 1131 there is attempt to access folder /usr/include/ia64. On my 1123 system it was missing for some reason. Simply creating it (even empty) was enough to solve problem. Finally I copied it's content from over 1123 system to avoid problem in future.

Thanks again for your help.
