[OmniOS-discuss] java can't find libjli.so on OmniOS v11 r151008 -- workaround

[Geoff Nordli]

I know very little about Java, so not sure exactly if there are more 
things that need to get done in order to fix it, but here is a workaround.

I installed the package:  pkg install java

pkg info java
         Name: runtime/java
        Summary: Open-source implementation of the seventh edition of 
the Java SE Platform
          State: Installed
      Publisher: omnios
        Version: 0.5.11 (jdk7u21-b30)
  Build Release: 5.11
         Branch: 0.151008
Packaging Date:  4 December, 2013 08:10:13 PM

pkg://omnios/runtime/java@0.5.11,5.11-0.151008:20131204T201013Z

For whatever reason java couldn't find a library.

  /usr/bin/java -v
ld.so.1: java: fatal: libjli.so: open failed: No such file or directory
Killed

ldd /usr/bin/java
         libthread.so.1 =>        /lib/libthread.so.1
         libjli.so =>     (file not found)
         libdl.so.1 =>    /lib/libdl.so.1
         libc.so.1 =>     /lib/libc.so.1
         libm.so.2 =>     /lib/libm.so.2

So I ended up doing:

cd /usr/lib/

ln -s /usr/java/jre/lib/i386/jli/libjli.so


and we are good......

/usr/bin/java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0_21"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b30)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 24.60-b03, mixed mode)
