Can't find agent library on Linux x86_64 for EAP 628

[solman]

I am having a great deal of difficulty getting yourkit to find the library on x86_64.

I have checked and rechecked the path. I keep getting the following:

[solman@jabberwock linux-amd64]$ java -Xrunyjpagent:help
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not find agent library on the library path or in the local directory: yjpagent

Here is some possibly helpful output based on a similar query in these forums:

[solman@jabberwock linux-amd64]$ ldd libyjpagent.so
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002aaaaac76000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00002aaaaae75000)

/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000)

[solman@jabberwock linux-amd64]$ uname -a

The path is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/tmp/yjp/bin/linux-amd64

(I put it there and set all permissions just to rule out any possibility of security issues. I first tried it from a more conventional location)

I suppose that your java is 32 bit. What is ouput of "java -version"?

Here is my output:

Hi,

Could you please try ldd with more options,

e.g. ldd -r libyjpagent.dll

Also, could you please try if there's a change if you use

java -agentlib:yjpagent=help

instead of -Xrun

Best regards,
Anton

In doing this, I noticed that ldd libyjpagent.so only worked from the directory in which the library exists.

I wrongly concluded that I needed to get ldd to work from other directories. Although I was never successful in this, by the time I gave up, YourKit was working.

Amongst the things I tried was copying the library to /lib, /usr/lib and /lib64.
Runing ldconfig.
Rebooting the machine.
Adding a : in front of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Specifying SHLIB path.

Regretably I have no idea which of these fixed the problem, and I lack the clue to figure it out.

I just repeated the procedure on a new machine and was able to determine which step fixed the problem. In summary:

PROBLEM: On x86_64 runing 64-bit fedora core 4 with the 64-bit linux jdk1.5.0_04 downloaded from sun, the JDK can't find the yjp library:

[solman@prospero ~]$ java -Xrunyjpagent:help
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not find agent library on the library path or in the local directory: yjpagent

SOLUTION: copy the linux-amd64 verison of libyjpagent.so to /lib64

This fixes the problemt without any of the other steps. None of the other steps seem to help,
