I have done that; and get the message "Can't find class
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. (Wrong class path?)"
Not sure if it gets further or not.

The odd thing is that if I link in the libjvm.sl into my program, then it
works fine (still doing the dlopen/dlsym) - with or without doing chatr +s
enable.
But if I have libjvm.sl linked into my program and do chatr +s enable so
that it should follow SHLIB_PATH; and I move libjvm.sl to a different
location and correspondingly change SHLIB_PATH to point to that location, it
will again fail with the NoClassDefFoundError.

 I think I recall seeing something about not being able to dlopen a .sl file
that uses Thread Local Storage and that libjvm.sl uses that mechanism. I am
able to do dlopen OK.
