Problem loading shared libraries while installing on linux

in Integration and Hardware • 4 months ago

I am having a problem loading processing on a raspberry pi (debian wheezy). I have followed the instructions carefully and have replaced the java file with java 7 for linux from oracle. I tried starting processing at each step but keep getting the following error:

java: error while loading shared libraries: libjli.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have copied that file into /usr/shared, /usr/lib and it is also in porcessing/java/jre/lib/arm/jli/libjli.so . I have tried running processing as my usr and in root. processing is in /home/pi/processing-2.0b9 if that matters.

Help! I am very frustrated.

Processing is in /home/pi/processing-2.0b9 if that matters.

Current beta version is a hot rotten potato! Stay outta it, especially when using GNU/Linux!

Downgrade to 2.0b8 or even better, stick to 1.5.1 for awhile like I'm doing!

Using Lubuntu 13.04 64-bit w/ OpenJDK 7u21 here!

I was trying to run the ARM version. Realized I had mistakenly loaded my pi with Raspian - which doesn't support soft float.

Got it to run using openjdk based loosely on the directions on http://scruss.com/blog/2012/08/12/controlling-an-arduino-from-raspberry-pi-using-processing/. It didn't want to work in the beginning. Honestly - I'm not absolutely certain what tipped it over - in the end like it says I have to go through the screen that says not to use it and then it loads.

I was trying to avoid going backwards with processing because I have a rather intense piece of code that needs to run in this and it isn't backwards compatible - at least not easily - and I am on an extremely short deadline. I succeeded ultimately but only after a lot of fuss.
