Cannot run Java from swinstall script

Robert L. Russell — Mon, 11 Sep 2006 08:46:10 GMT

Hello,

Our package installation installs a shell script (gen_ui_scripts) which it then runs during the postinstall. This script then calls java, but fails due to:

/usr/lib/pa20_64/dld.sl: Unable to find library 'libjvm.sl'.

When running this script from the command line it works fine. For debugging we are explicity exporting the SHLIB_PATH within gen_ui_scripts to include the location of libjvm.sl, but, it still fails.

Is there anything special about running under swinstall?

Thanks,

Bob

I had the same problem with a WebMethods install. I had to do the following:
ln -s /opt/java1.4/jre/lib/PA_RISC2.0W/server/*.sl /usr/lib/pa20_64 Make sure to use the version of java needed by the install(java1.4 or java1.5). If you only the link the libjvm.sl you may take errors with other missing .sl's.

Shalom,

The download of java may be incomplete.

There are no pre-requesites for java, however http://www.hp.com/go/java has a long list of recommendations concerning pre java patching.

You may be running into a security issue. I.e. SHLIB_PATH is ignored when running as root?

setuid executables don't look at SHLIB_PATH.
See PHSS_34353 JAGaf79250. See dld.sl(5):
