Hi all,

I got this error message when I started FoamX:

I have no idea about the cause of this error.

Please help

Hi,

/home/ayan/OpenFOAM/linux64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so is a 32-bit library.

This library requires a 32-bit version of libXp.so.6

The error message basically means that java can only find a 64-bit version of libXp.so.6 on your system.

On my SuSE installation, the 32-bit version of libXp.so.6 is provided by the following RPM: xorg-x11-libXp-32bit-7.2-60

The 32-bit version of libXp.so.6 is installed under /usr/lib

The 64-bit version of libXp.so.6 is installed under /usr/lib64.

Hello again,

Using the command "readelf" is another way to verify that this is indeed a 32-bit vs 64-bit problem.

Compare the outputs returned by the following commands on your system:

readelf -h /home/ayan/OpenFOAM/linux64/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so
readelf -h /findThePathOnYourSystem/libXp.so.6

For libawt.so, you should get "Class: ELF32"
For libXp.so.6, you will probably get "Class: ELF64"
