Install Wls6.0 on Solaris 8.0 for x86

Question

I have a pc with Solaris 8.0 for x86 installed .I also install jre1.3 on it.
When I try to install wls6.0 on it ,there comes an error message"can't find
libjava.so ".
I've found the file libjava.so at path "j2re1_3_0/lib/i386/" .
Why the installer didn't find the file ??

Answer 1

create a link (or copy the files) from your $JDK13/bin/i386 to the /usr/bea/jdk130/bin.

I followed your instructions and was able to install the server.
However, when I tried to start the server from under mydomain,
I got an error message saying java was not found in /usr/bea/jdk130/bin/i386/native_threads/java.
I did copy the i386 directory from the J2SDK SE 1.3.0 home to
under /usr/bea/jdk130/jre/lib per your earlier post. Can you tell
me what else I have to do? TIA,

You will need to install the 1.3 JDK on your Solairs x86
box, then invoke
the install script from the command line with the following
flag:
LAX_VM /usr/local/jdk/bin/java
where /usr/local/jdk/bin/java represents your installation
of JDK1.3.

Have you been able to install WLS 6.0 on Solaris 8 Intel?I cannot
get the downloaded bin file to execute (therefore impossibleto
copy anything into the bea/jdk130 directory), becausethe libjava.so
file cannot be found, even though I included /usr/jdk1.3/jre/lib/i386
in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Any further suggestion is appreciated.

Technically the x86 platform isn't supported but we
had
a similar need to use
it. Try copying the i386 directory that came with the
JDK1.3 you downloaded into
/usr/bea/jdk130/jre/lib (your path may be differentbut
you want to place i386
in the JDK1.3 that came with the WLS6.0). Also be aware
that WLS will ignore
your suggestion to use your JDK and will use it's own
(regardless of what you
specify in the startup file). You will not be ableto
use the Performance Pack
(you'll see the exception when you start the serverbut
it doesn't appear to be
fatal).
