libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

While doing a fresh install of 11i vision on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5, RapidInstall gave the following error:

Rapid Install Wizard will now launch the Java Interface.....

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /11istage/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/jre/Linux/1.4.2/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
        at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method)
        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source)

        at sun.awt.NativeLibLoader.loadLibraries(Unknown Source)
        at sun.awt.DebugHelper.(Unknown Source)
        at java.awt.Component.(Unknown Source)

This error comes because libXp.so.6 library is not present in /usr/lib.  The rpm which contains this file is libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm.  It is present in the Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 DVD  in /server directory.  So copy this rpm from the DVD or CD and install it:

rpm -ivh libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm

Once this is installed, confirm about the presence of the the file libXp.so.6 by this command:

$ ls -ld /usr/lib/libXp.so.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jul 29 06:45 /usr/lib/libXp.so.6 -> libXp.so.6.2.0

Thanks! I had the 64 bit version of it installed in /usr/lib64/libXp.so.6. Installing the 32 bit version solved the issue for me.

Vikram Das said...

Hi Anonymous,

You don't need to copy it. You need to install the package which has the file:

rpm -ivh libXp-1.0.0-8.i386.rpm
