All,

While testing IA-32 compatibility on IA-64 I ran into this problem:

Initializing Java
Virtual Machine from
../stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/DataFiles/Expanded/linux/bin/jre.

Please wait...
ldt_clear: modify_ldt: Function not implemented
ldt_setup: modify_ldt: Function not implemented

At this point the JRE stops working and exits.

The Oracle installer runs on IBM's 1.1.8 JRE for Linux (32).

Regards,

Josue-

I was hoping nobody would run across this. The IBM JRE that Oracle is using is using a horrible interface that is disgustingly specific to IA32 that I was hoping I could forget about. Now that you need it I'll have to implement it for IA64.

As a complete aside, can I ask why are you installing the IA32 Oracle on your IA64 machine? I believe that there is an IA64 version available that might make more sense.

The IA-32 thread library from glibc 2.2 compiled for i686 and a modern kernel uses modify_ldt as well.

Don,

For reasons that I am sure are of very little interest to the people on this list, we have dependencies on Java 1.1.8 for some of our products, in particular the installer and configuration applets.

Since there are no plans by anyone to provide Java 1.1.8 for IA-64, we were hoping that we could use the 32 bit version of the JRE for installing and configuring Oracle on IA-64.

By the way, I was not really planning on running Oracle, although that may be a good test of the functionality of the compatibility environment.

Regards,

Josue-

Good answer, I was just curious.

BTW, I have run IA32 Oracle on my IA64 box and it appears to work fine. I got around the Java issue by installing on an IA32 machine and copying everyting over to the IA64 box. It at least proved that the IA32 sub-system supported Oracle and I didn't expect people to actually run IA32 Oracle on their IA64 machines.

Also, have you looked into Kaffe, `www.kaffe.org'? It's an open source JDK that I've compiled for IA64 and used successfully. I don't know if it's up to date enough to satisfy your needs though.
