Hi all,
I'm trying to install ODS 12.6 on an Oracle Linux 8.6 install, upgraded online to version 8.7. I installed the OpenJava JDK, current version, but ODS doesn't like the 'open' version, so I installed the most current Java, Oracle's version 9. The ODS installer wouldn't run. I read online that it's not compatible with version 9, so I installed JDK 1.8 (latest version). Then when it ran it complained it couldn't find libjli.so. So I installed 1.7. Then it found libjli.so, but it said it couldn't open the file. I'm not sure how many versions I tried, but I'm now running jdk1.8-1.8.0_321_fcs.x86_64. At least it doesn't complain about libjli.so.
However, the ODS 12.6 installer still won't run. I got GC memory limit errors, so I modified the Java memory limits. It didn't seem to help, but today when I try to run ./developerstudio.sh, it says:
Extracting installation data (can take a while, please wait)...
Running the installer wizard...
Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"
Then the installer quits. Is it supposed to be this difficult to run Oracle's Developer Studio with Oracle's Java? Do I have Java misconfigured? I have these environment variables set:
JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/latest"
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
JAVA_OPTS="-Xms4096M -Xmx8192M" --> because of the GC Memory Limit errors
Can anyone provide any insight into how to get the installer to run? I have installed ODS 12.6 (and earlier) versions many times on older versions of both Red Hat and Oracle Linux and I've never had problems like this. I've spent literally hours trying to get this to work. Are there any error logs I can look at? This URL https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E77782_01/html/E77785/giqre.html says the installation log should be at /root/.nbi, but that directory didn't exist. I created it, but after running the install, there is still no log file there.
Thanks in advance,
Jack
