Using the copr builds of syslog-ng 3.14 The package syslog-ng-java has RPM requirements that include libjvm.so()(64bit) libjvm.so(SUNWprivate_1.1)(64bit) The Java packages from Oracle do not provide these items. % rpm -q --provides -p jdk-8u162-linux-x64.rpm jdk jaxp_parser_impl xml-commons-apis java java-1.8.0 java-fonts jre jre-1.8.0 jdk1.8 = 2000:1.8.0_162-fcs % rpm -q --provides -p jre-8u162-linux-x64.rpm jaxp_parser_impl xml-commons-apis java java-1.8.0 java-fonts jre jre-1.8.0 jre1.8 = 1.8.0_161-fcs [% rpm -q --provides jdk-9.0.4_linux-x64_bin.rpm jdk jaxp_parser_impl xml-commons-apis java java-9.0.4 java-fonts jre jre-9.0.4 jdk-9.0.4 = 2000:9.0.4-ga jdk-9.0.4(x86-64) = 2000:9.0.4-ga Under Redhat 7 in order to get these I need libjvm.so()(64bit) --> java-1.8.0-ibm libjvm.so(SUNWprivate_1.1)(64bit) --> java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless The Oracle provided java (jdk or jre) do not provide these things.

Am I missing something obvious here? Comments? -- Evan Rempel erempel@uvic.ca Senior Systems Administrator 250.721.7691 Data Centre Services, University Systems, University of Victoria
