I only got this suggestion after I sent of my previous mail
(dialup obliges), but I can report now that this was indeed
the problem. There was a symlink to libjpeg.so.6.0.1 called
libjpeg.so on the PII, and this confused the loader. What I
don't get is why setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the java library
directory had no effect. Re-arranging ld.so.conf didn't work
either.
Oh well, the vagaries of shared libraries ;-)
Many thanks, Jürgen and Albrecht. I can go back to something
more productive now.
