Just a quick tips for all folks out there that are getting mad on this smiley

Problem: if you are trying to install JINI in Gentoo Linux, after you downloaded the installer starter kit you may start it and find errors like this:

grep: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This seems to happen if you have compiled your glibc libraries with nptl and nptlonly USE flags. You will be unable to install JINI (and I have read that this problem could happen to other java installers. But there is an easy solution for this!

Digging in the Gentoo Forums, I’ve found this solution. The problems seems related to a environment variable in the installer (LD_ASSUME_KERNEL), and you can easily overcome the problem by doing this (assuming your jini installer is called jini2_1.bin):
[code]
cp jini2_1.bin jini2_1.bak
cat jini2_1.bak | sed "s/export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/#xport LD_ASSUME_KERNEL/" > jini2_1.bin
rm jini2_1.bak
[/code]
By doing this, your installer will work and there won’t be any more errors!
