[pylucene-dev] pylucene/jcc compilation issues

[Phil Christensen]

Hi all,

I've been trying to get PyLucene to compile on my Debian box using  
the recently released JCC source, but I'm having the missing  
libjava.so issue.


phil at babbitt:~/PyLucene-2.2.0-1$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/ 
java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.10/jre/lib/i386/:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0- 
sun-1.5.0.10/jre/lib/i386/client/:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0- 
sun-1.5.0.10/jre/lib/i386/server

phil at babbitt:~/PyLucene-2.2.0-1$ sudo make install
[long command line snip]
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/jcc/__init__.py", line 27,  
in ?
     from jcc import cpp
   File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/jcc/__init__.py", line 30,  
in ?
     from _jcc import initVM
ImportError: libjava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file  
or directory
make: *** [install] Error 1


This is happening at the last step of the installation process, when  
I'm doing `make install` for the main PyLucene stuff. The previous  
compile appears to run properly, and there are no issues during the  
compile/installation of JCC.

I've made sure to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable, and confirmed that  
the library is where it's supposed to be. In fact, I know it's  
correct because I did have this issue during compilation, and it was  
fixed when I set the variable.

This is on a freshly installed Debian etch machine, Python 2.4, and  
JDK 1.5.0 (I originally tried 1.6, but switched after experiencing  
the same issue).

Any hints or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
