Java HotSpot Virtual Machine

Hi all,

I've come across a rather unusual stumbling block while trying to create a native Linux executable that starts the JVM. While the native code compiles without difficulty, when I try to run it I get a weird fault:

./server: error while loading shared libraries: libverify.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

True enough, when I run ldd over the executable, the following output is generated:

libjvm.so => /opt/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so (0x40026000)
* libverify.so => not found
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x4044b000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40503000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40526000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4052e000)
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x40661000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40676000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40679000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

But when I run ldconfig -p, libverify.so is listed, albeit with a rather strange field, 'hwcap':

libverify.so (libc6, hwcap: 0x1000000000000) => /opt/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/libverify.so

The command used to build the executable:

g++ server.cc -o server -I /opt/j2sdk1.4.2/include -I /opt/j2sdk1.4.2/include/linux -L /opt/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/client/ -L /opt/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/ -ljvm -lverify -g

on SuSE Linux 8.2, with GCC 3.3

If anyone can shed any light on this, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Danny.
