To answer the questions below.
I am installing OpenNMS 1.2.3 running as user root on SPARC.
Java j2sdk1.4.2_08
Tomcat 4.1.18
Postgres 7.3.4
Thanks,
Phil
What version of OpenNMS?

Are you trying to run OpenNMS not as the user "root" ?
I performed a new installation with Java only having 32-bit support. However, I am getting the same
problems as before (OpenNMS.Discovery will not start).
The errors in the discovery.log point to an issue with Java. Any ideas?

The library files that come with OpenNMS were likely compiled for the
32-bit SPARC architecture. You said that you are using a 64-bit SPARC
JRE. These will not work together. The JRE and the libjrrd.so and
libjicmp.so libraries all need to be compiled for the same
architecture.
You can use "file" on the libjrrd.so and libjicmp.so libraries as well
as the "java" executable you are trying to use. All three should be
32-bit or they should all be 64-bit. If there is a mix, it won't work.
Same goes for iplike.so and postgres (in particular, the
"postmaster").
The easy fix: switch your JRE to 32-bit (and maybe PostgreSQL if you
are having troubles there, too), or compile OpenNMS with the
appropriate options passed to gcc to make 64-bit SPARC binaries (I
can't find the exact stuff right now... search the mailing lists).
Good luck,
