'java' execution fails in AIX

[Palaniappan]

Hi,

When I try to use 'java' command to run (whatever I do, even whan I
used 'java -version') I get the following error:

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program java because of the following
errors:
0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for java because:
0509-136 Symbol opendir64 (number 49) is not exported from
dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
0509-136 Symbol closedir64 (number 50) is not exported from
dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
0509-136 Symbol readdir64 (number 51) is not exported from
dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
'dump -Tv' command.


Is anyone aware of this and how to rectify this?

Thanks,
Palaniappan.

I am sorry..
I forgot to mention that I use JDK 1.5. Everything is fine with 1.4.

OS patch is necessary

hi Palaniappan,

To run a 1.5 JVM on an AIX system, you must first apply the prerequisite OS patches.

On AIX 5.2, you must be at least at ML 7; on AIX 5.3, you must be at ML 3. (See http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html.)

Once the system is patched to 5.2 ML7 or 5.3 ML3, this error will go away and the 1.5 JVM will work fine.

HTH,
Natasha
