             Summary: Could not find or load main class configtest_ax_javac_and_java on some non-english systems
                 Key: THRIFT-3271
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3271
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build Process
         Environment: - German openSuse 13.2
- path with Umlauts (Arbeitsfläche) within

            Reporter: Jens Geyer
            Assignee: Jens Geyer
             Fix For: 0.9.3


The JVM fails to locate the *.class file within an path that contains (e.g.) Umlauts, such as in {{~/Arbeitsfläche/Thrift because}} of LC_ALL=C being set by configure. The symptom is, that 

{code}
java configtest_ax_javac_and_java
{code}

works fine when invoked by hand, but configure fails at exactly that step, even with an explictly set classpath -cp . with the message:

{code:title=config.log}
Running "/usr/bin/javac configtest_ax_javac_and_java.java"
Running "/usr/bin/java configtest_ax_javac_and_java"
Error: Could not find or load main class configtest_ax_javac_and_java
{code}

Temporarily adding {{LC_ALL=}} right before the Java check solves the issue. The other workaround is to use a path using only {{LC_ALL=C}}-compatible characters.

It seems to be related to the issue mentioned at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2011-10/msg00000.html and I eventually came up with the reason because after checking the usual suspects like CLASSPATH and the like I finally wondered whether it might have something to do with the fact that Java emits english error messages during configure, but german messages otherwise.
