libjli.so is needed by OpenwebStart

Post by Ashok »

Hi,
Initially, in the new RHEL 8.4 OS platform, I have installed amazon corretto 8 JDK. Later, I tried to install the openwebstart 1.5.0 in RHEL 8.4 OS platform. But the installation got failed with the below error,
error: Failed dependencies:
libjli.so()(64bit) is needed by openwebstart-1.5.0-2.x86_64
libjli.so(SUNWprivate_1.1)(64bit) is needed by openwebstart-1.5.0-2.x86_64

And I can able to locate the libjli.so under JDK path. But still, I got the above error.

Please let me know the workaround solution.

Thanks.

Which installer did you take?

For Linux you have to use this installer:
https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart ... _1_5_0.deb

openwebstart-1.5.0-2.x86_64 this is a windows installer.

Hi,

I have converted the ".deb" to ".rpm" format and tried to install it.

Also please let me know whether I can download openwebstart in ".rpm" format directly from any website.

Thanks,

We do not provide .rpm..

This link https://github.com/karakun/OpenWebStart/issues/154 shows how to convert .deb to .pm which you said you have already done.

I hope you installation was successful.

I have converted the ".deb" into ".rpm" without any errors and while installing the same was throwing the above-mentioned error.

Please let me know the possibilities to install the openwebstart rpm file without errors.

Sorry we do not have the resources to support more than .deb at the moment.
Non of the devs is currently using a rpm based package manager.

If you find a solution to your problem we are very great full if you can post it here so that others with the same issue can find a solution.

Kindly please let me know whether OpenwebStart 1.5.0 is compatible with RHEL 8.4 or not.

Thanks,

We have not tested on RHEL but it should work.

I tried to install the rpm package without checking dependencies by using the below command,
rpm -i --nodeps openwebstart-1.5.0-2.x86_64.rpm
The installation was successful. But have a doubt that whether it will have any impact or not. Also, I tried to launch the .jnlp file by using openwebstart and it works fine.

Please let me know how can we check whether the above installation was a precise process or not.

Thanks,

If a JNLP can be launched then it works.

The installer manly does the following steps:
- copy all files to the disk (for linux this is /opt/OpenWebStart)
- register OWS as an executable for *.jnlp and *.jnlpx files
- register an icon for *.jnlp and *.jnlpx files

The second and third steps are not required for OWS to function. They mainly add usability for the UI
