libawt.so unsatisfied link in java5

[arthomps]

going from feisty to gutsy, i started running into java errors for some applications that i do development on. the primary one was installation of opencms stopped working with upgrade. the error that gets reported is

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so: Can't load IA 32-bit .so on a IA 32-bit platform

which is confusing to me since i work on a 386 desktop so shouldn't really have dependencies on anything ia32. the problem goes away when i use java6, but for development - i can't just upgrade major version of my jdk. a similar bug is located at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/131212

what i've done in the meantime so that i can continue development is to revert from gutsy back to feisty. which is fine. it's just that you folks have made some wonder upgrades elsewhere that i would like to take advantage of (tomcat5.5 isn't fubared for example).

Hi, do you still have this issue in Gutsy or Hardy ?

[arthomps (arthomps)]

Hello Matti,

I upgraded from gutsy to hardy literally last weekend. so i can't test
there easily. I can only say that about 3 weeks ago - it didn't work in
gutsy.

That said, the issue definitely still exists in hardy.

debian seems to have similar issues.

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6515362 suggest the real underlying error message is suppressed and you're left with cryptic "Can't load IA 32-bit .so on a IA 32-bit platform". It's not related to problem, but might give a better hint about the root cause. Message issue is fixed in 1.5 jre in Hardy.

Are you setting custom LD_LIBRARY_PATH by a chance ?

[arthomps (arthomps)]

i apologize, the error is different in hardy. i am not settings
LD_LIBRARY_PATH unless there's some automatic configuration that I'm
not aware of. the error is still related to libawt.so, but there's no
reference to IA32.

I have the same issue, solved with the following command:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/i386/libmlib_image.so /usr/lib
sudo ldconfig

Under AMD64 system this can be solved by creating the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/java.conf with the following contents:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun/jre/lib/i386

Under x86 this doesn't work so the "ln -s" trick is needed.

We love you dremon!! thanks for the solution.

[Joan Fisbein (joan-fisbein)]

Thank you dremon, it worked for me!!! (after restarting the computer)

[Javier Arturo Rodriguez (codehead)]

It looks like this bug is still present in Debian 5.0. I ran into it last night and applied dmitry's fix successfully -- no need to reboot. Thank you!
