I had that problem a while a go when my user profiles were brand new (or
rather inexistent). In particular the $PATH was not set correctly.
For example,
cd $MY_JDK_HOME [return]
cd bin [return]
java [return]
produced some "java: Command not found exception"
because "." was not in my PATH; and
cd $MY_JDK_HOME [return]
cd bin [return]
./java [return] <---- mind the "./"
produced "Error: Can't find libjava.so."
Updating my path so that it contained both "." and "$MY_JDK_HOME/bin"
solved it.
The two are not needed, I guess. It mostly depends on what you like for
your personnal settings/security.
I also had to set the environment variable THREADS_FLAG to "green", but
that's another topic not related at all to the libjava.so problem (see
various READMEs and posting on green/native-threads).
Now, why my solution to the "libjava.so" problem involved $PATH and not
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH never troubled my sleep ... ;-)
Cheers,
Christophe.
