Description Rich Megginson 2005-12-02 18:05:19 UTC

Even with the IBM J2SDK installed and JAVA_HOME set correctly,
the lines:

if [ ! -f java -a ! -x java ]
then
  echo "$0: The java program is not in your path, or is not executable."
  exit 1
fi

... in startconsole are always going to fail.  What is probably required
are:

if [ ! -f $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -a ! -x $JAVA_HOME/bin/java ]
then
  echo "$0: The java program is not in your path, or is not executable."
  exit 1
fi

(see line 69 where it runs the correct java binary -- the test for "-f java"
is only going to work if the java binary is in the current directory, not
in JAVA_HOME/bin where it should be).

It seems that this is a bug i found when install FDS on Suse 10. Problem is
symbolic links that find command ignore.
When i added -L option to this 2 lines:

LIBJAVA_DIR=`find $JAVA_HOME -name libjava\.s[ol] | sed 's/\/libjava\.s.$//'`
LIBJVM_DIR=`find $JAVA_HOME -name libjvm\.s[ol] | sed 's/\/libjvm\.s.$//'`

to have: 

LIBJAVA_DIR=`find -L $JAVA_HOME -name libjava\.s[ol] | sed 's/\/libjava\.s.$//'`
LIBJVM_DIR=`find -L $JAVA_HOME -name libjvm\.s[ol] | sed 's/\/libjvm\.s.$//'`

all worked just fine.

The current Console code does not have these checks anymore.  We needed to set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or it's equivalent) to satisfy a library dependency that JSS
had.  The latest version of JSS that we are using does not have these library
dependencies anymore, so we no longer need to find out where libjava and libjvm are.

The "-f $JAVA_HOME/bin/java" check was changed quite some time ago as part of a
general rewrite of the startconsole script as well.

These changes will be available in the Fedora DS 1.0.2 build.
