Hi David, I don't know if you're still working with this, but I ran into the same problem recently:
- Installation of 9.2.0.1 crashes - Running .../jre/bin/java directly (from the Oracle-provided JVM 1.3.1) segfaults Here's what I did to fix: First, download J2SE 1.3.1 (SR10-1) from: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html This will install the newest 1.3.1 JRE to /opt/IBMJava2-s390-131/. Now here's the hokey part. My Oracle install directory is writeable, but if yours isn't, you'll need to copy it down locally to make some edits. First, backup the Oracle JRE, then copy the jre from /opt to the oracle directory, overwriting all files, i.e.: # pwd /install/oracle/Disk1/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.3.1.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded/lnx390/IBMJava2-s390-131 # mkdir jre.orig # \cp -a jre/* jre.orig/ # \cp -a /opt/IBMJava2-s390-131/jre/* jre/ You should now be able to run .../jre/bin/java -version without segfault, and the 9.2.0.1 install should be working. Notes: - I tried just replacing some java binaries, but it still segfaulted. Then I noticed there are some extra files in the Oracle JRE, which prompted me to just copy in the newer files (not the prettiest solution I know). - I'm trying this on RHEL 3 U7 (kernel 2.4.21, glibc 2.3.2), but this may work for SLES 9, too. -Brad On Thu, 2006-12-07 at 14:14 -0800, David Stuart wrote: > Ann, > > I will look again, but the only version I could find was 9.2.0.1. > > Maybe that's part of my problem. > > Dave > > > Dave Stuart > Prin.
