Description Timo Hirt 2007-10-30 18:36:26 UTC

Description of problem:

I need Websphere Application Server V6.0 for work. If I try to start the
installer there are some swing errors and the install progress breaks. I tried
to install the AS with the same CD on Ubuntu 7.10 and it worked fine. I have no
idea why I have this errors with Fedora. I tried Sun SDK 5 and 6. The WebSphere
installer log says:

Install, com.installshield.wizard.StandardWizardListener, err, could not
initalize interface swing.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Restart the graphical installer and try to install the AS.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change dir to the install CD.
2. Type ./launchpad.sh as root or with sudo
3. Klick at "install WebSphere Application Server"
  
Actual results:

The installer tries to locate the JVM. Then the it breaks.

Expected results:

A working install of the Application Server.

Additional info:

I tried the shipped java version, sun java 1.4 and 1.6.

Comment 3 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2007-10-30 19:28:37 UTC

I'll need more information about how the installer is searching for the JVM. 
Does launchpad.sh accept any options to enable verbosity?  Does the Mozilla.html
source provide any clues?

Comment 4 Timo Hirt 2007-10-31 17:28:42 UTC

I dont know about any options for launchpad.sh. Its a shell script which
determines the browser and runs another script. In my case its firefox.sh. 

Mozilla.html contains a lot of java script.

Comment 5 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2007-11-01 14:03:02 UTC

The checks must be happening in JavaScript.

First be sure that no other instance of Firefox is running on your system.  Then
replace the last line in /usr/bin/firefox with

exec strace -fFv -s300 $MOZ_PROGRAM $MOZARGS ${1+"$@"}

then run

sh -x ./launchpad.sh >& launchpad.log

then grep through the log for system calls "open", "access" and "stat64" to see
if it's searching through known Java installation paths.

Comment 6 Timo Hirt 2007-11-01 17:03:30 UTC

Ok, I did what you posted but without success. Lauchpad doesnt even open firefox
and prints out that no browser could be found. Even manually setting of the
BROWSER variable helped.

Comment 7 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2007-11-02 14:44:50 UTC

What happens, with the modified /usr/bin/firefox, if you just run

/usr/bin/firefox http://slashdot.org

making sure that no other firefox instances are already running?

Comment 8 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-04-26 03:00:51 UTC

I checked these myself.

WebSphere Application Server V6.1 for Linux bundles its own JRE with which it
runs the installer.  This works fine on x86 Rawhide.

WebSphere Community Server 2.0's installer supports exclusively the following JVMs:

ibm-linux3264-15x.jvm
sun-linux32-15x.jvm
ibm-aix32-15x.jvm
sun-solaris32-15x.jvm
apple_macosx_15X.jvm

and does not provide the ability to run a JVM not in that list.

Closing CANTFIX.
