Hi, I have an ia64 unstable system running the experimental glibc 2.3.2.ds1-5. I downloaded the BEA JVM installer mentioned previously in this thread. Here's what I get when I try to run it,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ./jrockit-8.1sp1-j2se1.4.1-linux64.bin Extracting 0%....................................................... ............................................100% ** Error during execution, error code = 11. if I run it with strace I get the same thing and in the strace output --- SIGCHLD (Child exited) @ 2000000000093651 (ba4) --- write(2, "** Error during execution, error"..., 44) = 44 So to catch the child's strace info I added -f. This causes it to write [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# strace -f -o /tmp/strace ./jrockit-8.1sp1-j2se1.4.1-linux64.bin Extracting 0%....................................................... ............................................100% and then hang. I can see that it unpacks some stuff in /tmp and fires up a process called "java" which I'd guess is a jvm. The last thing in the strace output is, 2984 stat("/tmp/filed4QpGf/jre141/jre/lib/ia64/jrockit/libjvm.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0775, st_size=4293469, ...}) = 0 So I figured it might be trying to run a java based GUI installer (and I don't run an X server on that box) so I thought I'd test with the unstable verison of glibc (2.3.2-8), ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ./jrockit-8.1sp1-j2se1.4.1-linux64.bin Extracting 0%....................................................... ............................................100% Unable to instantiate GUI, defaulting to console mode. <------------- BEA WebLogic JRockit 8.1 SP1 SDK (64 bit) -------------> Welcome: This installer will guide you through the installation of BEA WebLogic JRockit 8.1 SP1 SDK (64 bit). Type "Next" or enter to proceed to the next prompt. If you want to change data entered previously, type "Previous". You may quit the installer at any time by typing "Exit". Enter [Exit][Next]> ----------------------------------------------------------------------- So it was trying to run an install GUI, and knows what to do when it can't. So 2.3.2.ds1-5 definitely breaks the installer here. HTH, -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
