LinkageError at install, how to resolve that?

Question

This is what I tried:

$ bash yEd-3.20.1_with-JRE14_64-bit_setup.sh

This is what I got:

Unpacking JRE ...
Starting Installer ...
Error: LinkageError occurred while loading main class com.install4j.runtime.launcher.UnixLauncher
    java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/username/Downloads/yEd-3.20.1_with-JRE14_64-bit_setup.sh.11750.dir/jre/lib/libnio.so: /home/username/Downloads/yEd-3.20.1_with-JRE14_64-bit_setup.sh.11750.dir/jre/lib/libjava.so: version `SUNWprivate_1.1' not found (required by /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/jre/lib/amd64/libnet.so)

Any idea what to try?

java versions tried: openjdk 8  and oracle java 14.0.2+12-46

Seems like your LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to a location it should not point to. Try unsetting your LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the yEd installer.

Alternatively, install Java from your package manager or from http://jdk.java.net/14/ and use the Zipped yEd Jar file from the yEd download page instead of an installer script.

Thank you. That solved the problem:
1. unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
2. bash yEd-3.20.1_with-JRE14_64-bit_setup.sh
