Bug#697244: python-sciscipy: Could not load JVM dynamic library (libjava).

[xiscu]

Package: python-sciscipy
Version: 0.3.0-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Installing the python-sciscipy package
apt-get install python-sciscipy

and

opening a python IDLE session (python at the cli)
~$ python
Python 2.7.3rc2 (default, Apr 22 2012, 22:30:17) 
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import scilab
   
* What was the outcome of this action?

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.
Please also check that you are not trying to run Scilab 64 bits
on a 32 bits system (or vice versa).

Scilab cannot open JVM library.


* What outcome did you expect instead?
Working import
