Bus Error running FOP on Linux/IBM

[Mark Rosens <te...@mrosens.com>]

I am trying to run FOP (v0.20.4) on Linux using the JVM from IBM Developer Kit for Linux v1.3.0.  No matter which source I use (including the examples that come with the FOP distribution) I get the same error:

Command line:

fop link.fo link.pdf

Translation (from echo statement added to fop.sh):

/opt/IBMJava2-13/bin/java -classpath /home/mrosens/bin/fop/lib/xml-apis.jar:/home/mrosens/bin/fop/lib/xercesImpl-2.0.1.jar:/home/mrosens/bin/fo
p/lib/xalan-2.3.1.jar:/home/mrosens/bin/fop/lib/batik.jar:/home/mrosens/bin/fop/lib/avalon-framework-cvs-20020315.jar:/home/mrosens/bin/fop/bui
ld/fop.jar:  org.apache.fop.apps.Fop link.fo link.pdf

Result:

/home/mrosens/bin/fop/fop.sh: line 104: 30586 Bus error               $JAVACMD -classpath "$LOCALCLASSPATH" $FOP_OPTS org.apache.fop.apps.Fop "
$@"


Any suggestions?

A bus error indicates a problem with the JVM and/or
the OS. Consult the bug lists for the JVM vendor,
ask the support if possible, perhaps raise it as
a bug.

Mark,

Not to sure, but here are some obvious pointers

              -pdf link.pdf
(Unless you've tinkered with the script)

Failing this
Have you set $JAVA_HOME (& CLASSPATH) correctly, and are the values shown
below what you expect?

Never used AIX, does the debug option work?:
`sh -x fop.sh link.fo -pdf link.pdf`
or add `set -x` into the script
