use scilab with existing java

[e-letter]

Readers,

The tarball was downloaded and expanded.

Java is installed at:

/usr/local/java/java/

The bash profile file contains:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/java/jre/bin/java
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/java/java/jre/bin:/usr/local/bin
export PATH

The libjava file is at:

/usr/local/java/java/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so

The scilab file was edited:

detect_java_vm() {

    proc="i386"

    # If the user has the variable JAVA_HOME in the ENV

    if test -n "$JAVA_HOME" ; then

        if test $SCIVERBOSE -ne 0; then
            echo "Using specified vm: $JAVA_HOME"
        fi

#        if test ! -x "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" ; then
        if test ! -x "$JAVA_HOME" ; then
            echo "Cannot find $JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
            exit 1
        else
            JAVA_BINDIR=$JAVA_HOME/bin
        fi

        # Manage JRE & JDK because libjava.so and others are stored in the JRE
        if test -d $JAVA_HOME/jre; then
            JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre
        else
            JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME
        fi

        # Configuring LD_LIBRARY_PATH for libjava.so libhpi.so and libxxxx.so

        JAVA_SHLIB="libjava.so"

Trying to start scilab causes an error:

/usr/local/scilab/scilab/bin/scilab

Could not load JVM dynamic library (libjava).
Error: libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If you are using a binary version of Scilab, please report a bug
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/.
If you are using a self-built version of Scilab, update the script
bin/scilab to provide the path to the JVM.
The problem might be related to SELinux. Try to deactivate it.

Scilab cannot open JVM library.

Any help please?
