linux mint 17 64 bit cinnamon.
octave 3.8.1
After installing octave from the synaptic package manager, running it
generates a bug due to the inability to find the java run time library
libjvm.so .
Due to that bug octave starts generating a lot of errors in the
addpath() function.
Octave looks for that library in the directory,
/usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so . But the directory
default-java does not exist, nor is the environment variable JAVA_HOME set on
installation.
One simple fix is to create a symbolic link, namely:
sudo ln -s -v /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle /usr/lib/jvm/default-java
This presumes the installation of java-8 . I am not certain of the java
dependency for octave, though I think there should be one. Moreover the
installer should either create that symlink or somehow set the environment
variables appropriately so that the java libraries can be found.
