My collaborator with more linux experience offered the info provided below. I think the best plan is to install Java 8 if possible and give Java 9 more time to mature.
-------------------------------------------------------->
Googling around on the error message returns similar errors abound in early releases of previous JDK's.  Probably the solution for now is to regress to 8 if possible.   The other recommendation out there is to use the Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK if that's an option.

It is possible he installed Oracle JDK 9 which is said to be a development version in this link, but it is a year old.

Googling with the specific library failure turns up a similar bug report for a game

I think it is likely this is a Java JDK/JRE error and the solution is to use another flavor of Java.
