Java problem in AIX 5.3

[Former Member]

Hello, I am trying to install EP6.0 on AIX 5.3 system. I have installed the JDK as per SAP Note 709140. During the installation, SAPinst stops at the JDK screen asking for the installation directory. I have already set the JAVA_HOME, SAPINST_JRE_HOME and also the ulimits. SAPInst throws the following error in the log:

Execution of the command "/usr/java14_64/bin/java '-version'" finished with return code -1.

When I do /usr/java14_64/bin/java -version , it returns "Segmentation fault(core dump) error. Does anyone knows how to fix it? Thanks.

Can you paste here the exact output of java -version command. Which is the user with which java was installed?

What's env output?

I even rebuilt the whole system and installed this 64-bit java, still same problem. At this time I don't know what else to try. Thanks Myriana.

Oh I missed, Java was installed by the root user.

Hi Yasin,

If you execute java -version from the command line and get a segmentation fault, it would usually mean the jdk installation is corrupted. I would suggest to reinstall the JDK, then retry the portal install.

Myriana, thanks for your reply. I have reinstalled the JDK, but no use. Any other ideas? thanks.
