I'd like to help debug this problem but I need some help. I need to be able to install a debug version of Octave (preferably the current development sources) and build the Java package also with debugging symbols. I'm using Debian testing. What packages do I need to install? After doing pkg install java-1.2.8.tar.gz apparently successfully, I'm seeing octave> javaclasspath warning: timestamp on file /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/client/libjvm.so is in the future error: java_invoke: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/client/libjvm.so: failed to load: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/client/libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error: called from: error: /home/jwe/octave/java-1.2.8/javaclasspath.m at line 49, column 14 I have the following packages installed: $ dpkg -l '*openjdk*' | grep ^ii ii openjdk-6-dbg: 6b24-1.11.1-6 Java runtime based on OpenJDK (debugging sym ii openjdk-6-jdk: 6b24-1.11.1-6 OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK) ii openjdk-6-jre: 6b24-1.11.1-6 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT ii openjdk-6-jre- 6b24-1.11.1-6 OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT (hea ii openjdk-6-jre- 6b24-1.11.1-6 OpenJDK Java runtime (architecture independe ii openjdk-7-jdk: 7~u3-2.1.1~pre OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK) ii openjdk-7-jre: 7~u3-2.1.1~pre OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT ii openjdk-7-jre- 7~u3-2.1.1~pre OpenJDK Java runtime, using Hotspot JIT (hea ii openjdk-7-jre- 7~u3-2.1.1~pre OpenJDK Java runtime (architecture independe $ dpkg -l '*default-j*' | grep ^ii ii default-jdk 1:1.6-47 Standard Java or Java compatible Development ii default-jre 1:1.6-47 Standard Java or Java compatible Runtime ii default-jre-he 1:1.6-47 Standard Java or Java compatible Runtime (he What am I missing, or what is misconfigured that I don't have libjvm.so in the /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/client directory? jwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
