PQ54145: <JDK>/JRE/LIB/SPARC/LIBJVM.SOFILE IN THE JDK RELEASED WITH 4.01 SHOULD BE A SYMBOLIC LINK TO CLIENT/LIBJVM.SO

APAR status
Closed as fixed if next.

Error description
We are packaging the JDK for SOLARIS installations incorrectly.
1) <JDK>/jre/lib/sparc/libjvm.so should be a symbolic link:
.
      libjvm.so -> client/libjvm.so
      .
2) It should not be a file as this will cause problems with
   programs that embed the JVM inside a process, such as MQ.
.
3) This can be fixed by removing the file and restoring the
   link, for example:
.
      cd <JDK>/jre/lib/sparc
      rm libjvm.so
      ln -s client/libjvm.so libjvm.so
Local fix
This can be fixed by removing the file and restoring the
   link, for example:
.
      cd <JDK>/jre/lib/sparc
      rm libjvm.so
      ln -s client/libjvm.so libjvm.so
Problem summary
****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server 4.0 users   *

****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The JVM core dumps when user invokes    *
*                      JDK packaged with WebSphere 4.0         *
*                      programmatically.                       *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
On Solaris when using the JDK (that is packaged with WebSphere)
outside of WebSphere the JVM was core dumping.  The root
problem is the libjvm.so file in the sparc directory is a
symbolic link to the libjvm.so file in the sparc/client
directory when installed from SUN, and when installed by
WebSphere it's an actual file in the sparc directory and not
a symbolic link.
