This very frustrating error should be easy to fix but after several hours I am certain it is not easy, at least not for me.

Both online and offline installs fail finding libjvm.so. If there is a log anyhwere on the system I have been utterly unable to find it. The installer creates a fairly elaborate directory tree under /tmp but it seems free of any logging.

On Fedora 14, I have installed the Sun (oracle) JDK: /opt/jdk1.6.0_25. PATH and JAVA_HOME variables are set correctly.

The install fails with a maddeningly shortened error:
[Failed to load the JNI shared library “/opt/jdk1.6.0_25/bin/…/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so]

Obviously looking for “jre” anywhere under “bin” is just hopelessly wrong. But I could fix that with a symlink, EXCEPT for the ellipses. I do not know what directory structure the myeclipse installer is actually expecting.

Any help greatly appreciated.

ethutch,

1) Can you give me the file name of the installer you are trying to run? What version of MyEclipse are you trying to install?

2) If you are using a MyEclipse 9 installer, can you try running the installer with
<installer name> -vm /path/to/jvm

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, obviously not being able to even install is very frustrating and we are working on fixes to the installer.

I tried the instructions from another post here for manual install. The first step was to go and get Eclipse 3.6. When I tried to install Eclipse it failed with the exact same error. So this is clearly not a MyEclipse error. I am at a complete loss for how there can be any confusion about the structure of the JDK directories.

However, I tried your suggestion of -vm parameter and it worked for the install, and somewhat surprisingly continues to work. It is all installed and working now.

Quite the mystery. But like so many things, once it started working I lost a lot of interest in figuring out why it was (is) broken.

Thanks for your help. FYI, this is the ME for Spring files off the current main download page if you care more than I as to sorting it out.

ethutch,

Good to hear you are all set. Unlike windows installers, you need to set the path to JRE/JDK on linux.

Best.
