Investigate libdl _dl_debug_initialize libc6-i686 issue on Ubuntu, come up with
a workaround, and go after responsible parties
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-3084
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3084
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Extensions
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Fix For: JRuby 1.1.5
A number of folks have reported the issue I describe here, where JRuby crashes
on startup with a message about _dl_debug_initialize:
http://blog.headius.com/2008/08/libdl-dldebuginitialize-problem-solved.html
The problem appears to be aggravated lately and we have not done any further
investigation into why. Removing libc6-i686 should be ok, even though it's
installed as a dependency of ubuntu-minimal...even the package description says
you might have to uninstall it. But that's not good enough.
We need to isolate whose fault this issue actually is and chase them down about
it. If it's something in Sun's JDK I can take it from there and talk to them.
If it's something in JNA, we can probably try to fix it or at least modify
jruby.native.enabled to completely avoid loading JNA (through a modification to
jna-posix to load it reflectively). At any rate, we need to figure this out.
