libjmv.sl

[Anil_5]

Hi,

When I do a java -version I get an error saying " /usr/lib/dld.sl not found or unable to find libjvm.sl

What could be causing this as the file dld.sl does exist.

what is your path settings for java? Also, do a find for the libjvm.sl and where is it? Java 3 installs under /opt/java1.3 and not /opt/java, so you may need to verify or adjust this in your lib path....

enter env and check the PATH and CLASSPATH to make sure the right paths are set

[Anil_5]

The path was set like this JAVA_HOME="Java executable" and SHLIB_PATH=/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib/
/usr/lib does contain dld.sl.Does it depend on OS patch levels also.

Hi:

'/usr/lib/dld.sl' is the dynamic loader for shared libraries. If you didn't have it you'd be in a world of trouble for a multitude of things ;-)

interestingly one of my servers had the same complaint on follow up.. here was the fix... check /etc/PATH and make sure the java version you want to use is in the path... for me I had to change to follow:

/opt/java/bin

to

/opt/java1.3/bin

then it worked like a champ... you server is most likely trying to chase this file down the wrong path...

I also added a symbolic link from /usr/lib to the location of the libjvm.sl just to make sure my library was found...

I will update the path and get back to this thread with the results.

Thanks to all.

Do operating system Patch levels differ from Java 1.2 to Java1.3?
