Ever since I updated to icedtea-web-1.0.2, one of my .jnlp scripts refuses to run with the following error: net.sourceforge.jnlp.LaunchException: Fatal: External Launch Error: Could not launch JNLP file. at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchExternal(Launcher.java:356) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchApplication(Launcher.java:417) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher$TgThread.run(Launcher.java:830) Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/javaws": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:475) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:610) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:483) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchExternal(Launcher.java:348) ... 2 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory at java.lang.UNIXProcess.<init>(UNIXProcess.java:164) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:81) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:468) ... 5 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/javaws": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:475) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:610) at java.lang.Runtime.exec(Runtime.java:483) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchExternal(Launcher.java:348) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher.launchApplication(Launcher.java:417) at net.sourceforge.jnlp.Launcher$TgThread.run(Launcher.java:830) Caused by: java.io.IOException: java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory at java.lang.UNIXProcess.<init>(UNIXProcess.java:164) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:81) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:468) ... 5 more In fact there is no /usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/javaws binary, just /usr/lib64/icedtea6/bin/javaws.

Which version of icedtea-6 is installed? What's the output of 'equery f icedtea-web'? What if you remerge icedtea-web with FEATURES=keepwork temporarily enabled, and then look in /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image - do the symlinks exist there?

There is no such directory. Looking closely at the log I see this, during the install phase: if [ -d /usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin ] ; then \ /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/work/icedtea-web-1.0.2/install-sh -d /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin ; \ if [ -L /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/javaws ] ; then \ rm -f /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/javaws ; \ fi ; \ if [ -L /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/itweb-settings ] ; then \ rm -f /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/itweb-settings ; \ fi ; \ if [ ! -e /usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/javaws ] ; then \ ln -s ../../bin/javaws /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin ; \ fi ; \ if [ ! -e /usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin/itweb-settings ] ; then \ ln -s ../../bin/itweb-settings /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6/jre/bin ; \ fi ; \ fi Aren't the checks on the "/usr/lib64/icedtea6..." directory supposed to be on the "/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-web-1.0.2/image//usr/lib64/icedtea6..." one? This way (and I can confirm it) the ebuild installs the symlinks if they are not currently present in the system (modulo a race in the install phase that must be fixed with MAKEOPTS=-j1) and it does not install them if they are already present. It must be something in the makefiles or a configure flag, no idea how to fix it, though.
Andrew: can you please look at this? Seems the makefiles do not honour DESTDIR when checking if the symlinks already exist. And then there's the -jX problem (which we could workaround in the ebuild).
I think the problem is DESTDIR not being used in the body not its absence in the conditional. The first condition is meant to check that IcedTea6 has installed a jre/bin (always the case with Gentoo as we don't mess about with jres and jdks like other distros) so we know whether jre/bin symlinks should be created. Without this test, an install without jre/bin would have one created containing just the symlinks. The problem is: if [ ! -e $(prefix)/jre/bin/javaws ] ; then \ ln -s ../../bin/javaws $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/jre/bin ; \ fi ; \ if [ ! -e $(prefix)/jre/bin/itweb-settings ] ; then \ ln -s ../../bin/itweb-settings $(DESTDIR)$(prefix)/jre/bin ; \ fi ; \ On a user-install this would work AFAICS. The problem is that portage will remove the symlinks from the old ebuild. For Gentoo, patching out those two conditionals would fix this. I don't see an obvious race. Can you go into more detail?
Note that 1.1 will be released soon which drops all this and installs like a normal application.
(In reply to comment #4) > I don't see an obvious race. Can you go into more detail? I don't remember the exact details, since it's been a week, but I remember that once in a while, during the install phase of the ebuild, the ebuild bombed out with some error, but it never did with 'MAKEOPTS=-j1'. I'd like to troubleshoot it better but I don't have the time at the moment, it's not really relevant for this bug, anyway, so you're free to not care, right now.
The symlinks problem should be fixed in icedtea-web-1.1, parallel make problem probably exists as reported in bug 372235.
