Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): octave-3.8.2-7.fc21.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.parser = javaObject('org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser'); Actual results: error: javaObject: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.20-12.b26.fc21.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so: failed to load: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.20-12.b26.fc21.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Expected results: java object created Additional info: libjvm.so can be found at this path: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.31-3.b13.fc21.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so It seems that the java path is hardcoded, so octave needs to be recompiled
We need to point octave to point to a generic location, which I think I know how to do. Also need to have octave require java-headless as well.
