On my Mac, I deleted java locally, just deleted the folder with java (/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/).

When I install java 6 again, I was installed into: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

Then after installation new one, I have this error when trying to invoke ‘./java’ from the console:

Here I put java into my home directory. But, even if use standard one I’ve got the same exception:

dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/JavaVM
  Referenced from: /Users/myuser/java/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/./java
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

Is there any way to fix it?

Here I just copied working Java 6 from different machine and put to proper/default location, then go to …/bin and type ./java:

$ pwd
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin
$ ./java -version
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libjli.jnilib
  Referenced from: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/./java
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

But if install Java 7, it works perfectly.

    Ok. I fixed it.

    The problem was that there are two places that Java is located.

    1. /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework (were real jdk 6 is located)
    2. /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/ (were may java6 is now, it has only links)

    And if put JDK to source 1, it will try refers to source 2 (by symlinks) using specific version of java (in my case it is 1.6.0) and it could not find proper object/file to link to.

    As soon as I fixed it started working.

    So, I just restored all contents, getting it from another working machine. Bu the idea is that Mac OS uses two locations to store java related files.
