Bug#571555: hdfview: No java runtime was found

[Olaf Tuinder]

Package: hdfview
Version: 2.5-8
Severity: normal


Starting hdfview at the commandline produces this warning:
$ hdfview
[warning] /usr/bin/hdfview: No java runtime was found
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
   at ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView.stateChanged(HDFView.java:1615)
   at javax.swing.JTabbedPane.fireStateChanged(libgcj.so.90)
   at javax.swing.JTabbedPane$ModelListener.stateChanged(libgcj.so.90)
   at javax.swing.DefaultSingleSelectionModel.fireStateChanged(libgcj.so.90)
   at javax.swing.DefaultSingleSelectionModel.setSelectedIndex(libgcj.so.90)
   at javax.swing.JTabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(libgcj.so.90)
   at ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView.createMainWindow(HDFView.java:400)
   at ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView.<init>(HDFView.java:303)
   at ncsa.hdf.view.HDFView.main(HDFView.java:2314)

An strace points out that it looks for libgcj.so.90 in a different place:
access("/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgcj.so.90", R_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
and quite soon afterwards kills itself.

The file it looks for is located in 
$ locate libgcj.so.90
/usr/lib/libgcj.so.90
/usr/lib/libgcj.so.90.0.0


Cheers,

    Olaf.
