But after just digging a little bit, the reason appears to be that "find /usr/lib/jvm/java -name 'libjvm.s[ol]'" returns nothing. But: cd $JAVA_HOME (or /usr/lib/jvm/java) find . -name 'libjvm.s[ol]' returns ./bin/classic/libjvm.so or probably better, find $JAVA_HOME/ -name libjava\.s[ol] works too, so I think the trailing slash after JAVA_HOME is needed.
