Build OpenJDK 9 in CentOS5

I was trying to build OpenJDK 9 in Centos 5. I used
sh ./configure --disable-warnings-as-errors
make all
I am getting the following error.

I also tried other make targets such as make images and make install. But still getting the same error. My GCC version is gcc (GCC) 4.4.7 which I manually installed because Centos 5 by default has an older version.

Building JDK requires at least GCC 5.0 (see Building the JDK: CC).
This seems to be a problem in the glibc version (see redhat-issue, util-linux). So, updating your glibc to the latest version might solve it.
If you don't want to update your system's glibc, here is another alternative:
By looking at the man page of fallocate, we find that the description mentions that posix_fallocate(3) is a portable, POSIX.1-specified version of it, in case the mode parameter has the default value (0). The same applies to fallocate64.
Since all the occurrences of the aforementioned error already use the default mode value, you can replace them with posix_fallocate64() (instead of commenting them out as you mentioned in another comment).
The denoted man page says that:
This default behavior [of fallocate with mode=0] closely resembles the
behavior of the posix_fallocate(3) library function, and is intended
as a method of optimally implementing that function.

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError error running RNetLogo on 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 - but is the issue rJava or NetLogo?

The issue
I am attempting to start an instance of NetLogo in R using the RNetLogo package, which has rJava as a dependency.
During installation of rJava 0.9-9 (the latest development snapshot from rforge), I get the following errors:
warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.6
This appears to refer to Java version 6, even though I have version 8 only on my machine. However, the developer of rJava appears to say here that as long as the package installs and loads correctly, which it does, then users should ignore the warnings. Furthermore, .jinit() appears to run correctly:
> .jinit()
[1] 0
and the correct version of Java is detected:
> .jcall("java/lang/System", "S", "getProperty", "java.runtime.version")
[1] "1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12"
So, having loaded RNetLogo, I attempt to start a NetLogo instance. Here is the minimal code I'm running:
library(RNetLogo)
nl.path <- "~/NetLogo 6.0.2/app"
NLStart(nl.path, gui = FALSE, nl.jarname='netlogo-6.0.2.jar')
Which returns the following errors:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/nlogo/workspace/Controllable

I get the same issue using RStudio or running R from the terminal (including running as root).

Attempted fixes
Based on other users' issues that appear to be related, I also tried to following:
° Setting environment variables in /etc/profile.d/:
export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64"
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server"
export CLASSPATH="$ClASSPATH:$HOME/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.4/rJava/java"
° Running
sudo R CMD javareconf -e
° Adding a couple of lines proposed as mac OS fixes to the start of my script:
Sys.setenv(NOAWT=1)
dyn.load('/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so')
Thanks in advance.

I spent a lot of time staring at this question, assuming I had the same issue because I was getting the same error. So, for future readers: On Ubuntu 17.10, with rJava 0.9-9, NetLogo 6.0.3 and RNetLogo 1.0-4, the same error results when using the Oracle 9 Java SDK. Going back to 8 solves it.
For the OP: The ~/ in nl.path might be the problem. On my system it doesn't work, but specifying the full path (that is, home/user_name/...) does.

I had the same problem with rNetLogo 1.0-4 for NetLogo 5.3.1 in combination with openjdk-8 on Ubuntu 16.04. I tried openjdk-8 and Oracle Java 8 (using ppa:webupd8team/java) with no luck.
In the end it works with rJava as Ubuntu package (r-cran-rjava) and going back to rNetLogo 1.0-0 (with I suppose did the trick), still using Oracle Java 8.

Error while building the demonstration environment for Stucco on MacOS

On following the instructions in http://stucco.github.io/
I am getting the following traceback on terminal:
TASK [smola.java : Install Java packages] **************************************
failed: [stucco] (item=[u'java_packages']) => {"failed": true, "item":
["java_packages"], "msg": "No package matching 'java_packages' is
available"}
Ansible failed to complete successfully. Any error output should be
visible above. Please fix these errors and try again.
Any idea on how I can fix this error?

This playbooks are two years old. They use abandoned Ansible syntax. For example here:
- name: Install Java packages
apt: pkg={{ item }} state=latest
with_items: java_packages
You can't use bare variables in with_ with modern Ansible versions (latest version to support this with giant deprecation warning was 2.1).
From Stucco Dev-Setup manual:
Download Ansible. (Tested with version 1.7.x.). (Ansible requires Python 2.6.)

Smart can't install...no package provides shared object file

Problem
I'm attempting to create a Bitbake recipe which will install Oracle JRE 8 onto my target OS.
I've tried to use metadata from meta-oracle-java, but had some difficulties due to one of the .inc files which are provided for general JREs has a JRE-7-specific URI.
I've changed some of the metadata from meta-oracle-java and created my own recipe to do this install.
Tests
A Build of the JRE Recipe by Itself
When building the recipe by itself:
bitbake oracle-jse-jre
The build completes without error. I've added a dependency on libav into the oracle-jse-jre recipe, so I can do the following from TMPDIR:
$ find . -name libavformat*so
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.20.4
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so
./work/core2-64-poky-linux/libav/9.18-r0/sysroot-destdir/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54.20.4
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so
./sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
Runtime Dependency Success
If I add the default package from the oracle-jse-jre recipe to RDEPENDS_${PN} of another recipe xenoros_0.1.bb, I can run bitbake xenoros and build without errors.
Core Image Failure
If I add xenoros to the IMAGE_INSTALL variable of a core-image-xenoros, the build fails with the following error:
ERROR: Unable to install packages.

ERROR: Task 7 (/home/presslertj/yocto-OS/poky-jethro-build/meta-myLayer/recipes-core/images/core-image-my-server.bb, do_rootfs) failed with exit code '1'
Looking inside TMPDIR, I can find this:
/sysroots/genericx86-64/usr/lib/libavformat.so.54
It seems there's a version mismatch, where smart expects version 53, but 54 is provided.
Reverting libav's version
Just to test what's going on, I've made a recipe which fetches version 0.8.17 of libav (which uses version 53). When using this instead of 9.18, I have the exact opposite problem, that smart expects but can't find version 54.
Questions
How does smart determine the version number for these shared object files?
What about the do_rootfs() task causes the build to fail at this specific time?
Is there a simple resolution to my specific problem?

1) It's not smart, but rather rpmbuild, that is adding dependencies derived from the ELF DT_NEEDED field (see elfutils -a).
2) The do_rootfs() task is failing because of unresolved dependencies.
3) Since you are using Poky/Yocto and rpm5, there is a simple way to mask the issue (substituting whatever dependencies are causing you heartburn)
echo "unresoved_dependency" > /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename
That is just a band-aid; you still need to figure out the packaging issues rather than masking the underlying problem with how you are building rpm packages.

For anyone that still encounter this error: as stated in the README file of the meta-oracle-java repo
There are some known install problems for JRE packages due to dependencies reported by RPM package manager.
Switching to DEB or IPK packaging temporarily fixes this.
ie:
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_deb"
or
PACKAGE_CLASSES = "package_ipk"
in your 'local.conf' file

HypergraphDB Netbeans settings

I want to do something with the HypergraphDB in Java. I'm not very familiar with this language and IDE Netbeans.
I followed steps describing the HGDB installation:Link to tutorial
Now I want to write an example in Java (using NetbeansIDE).
So I created new project, added refferences to the downloaded libraries. OK, now I'm able to import packages with HGDB. The only thing I have in my main method is HyperGraph HG = new HyperGraph(dbLocation);. This code compiles. But get following runtime error:
run:

I guess it's caused by the native API of the BerkeleyDB.
According to the tutorial, in project options I supply the -Djava.library.path=$HGDB_ROOT/lib/native/$PLATFORM argument on Run card as a VM Option. Instead of the system variables I use full-path to the libraries.
My OS in Windows7. I'm not sure about using slashes or backslashes or double-backslashes as a path-separator.?
So a simply question is: how have I to set up the IDE for using the HypergraphDB?
Thank you for advices!

Judging from the stack trace, you are using the latest version of HyperGraphDB. In that version, the native API is not used. Rather, it's Java only libraries. You have to include the BerkeleyDB Java Edition 5.0.34 jar in your runtime classpath. You can get it either from the Oracle http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/berkeleydb/downloads/index.html or from the HyperGraphDB Maven repository: http://hypergraphdb.org/maven/org/hypergraphdb/hgbdbje/1.2/hgbdbje-1.2.jar

I had the same issue. I fixed it (by accident) by fixing the order of the libraries on which you're HyperGraphDB application relies on. The library je-[version].jar has to be ABOVE (and hence to be referenced before) db-[version].jar
