Hello,

I've just compiled Berkeley Db version 4.4 thus without incident: -

.../dist/configure --enable-cxx=yes --enable-jave=yes
make
make install

However when I try to run a simple java application the jvm crashes
citing a SIGSEGV. This is the program: -

public class Test {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.setProperty("sleepycat.db.libfile",
"/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib/libdb_java-4.4.so");
Database db = null;
try {
DatabaseConfig dbConfig = new DatabaseConfig();
dbConfig.setAllowCreate(true);
db = new Database("/data01/BerkeleyDB/data/test.db",
null, dbConfig);
}
finally {
if (db != null) {
db.close();
}
}
}
}

I'm running opensuse linux 10.1, db was compiled with gcc version 4.1.0
and the java is version 1.5.0_06. Kernel is version 2.6.16.13

Has anyone had similar problems and could anybody suggest a solution?

Thank you

The error dunp file contains the following: -
