libXp.so.6 not resolving on Fedora Core 5 (x86_64)

All,

I have installed FC5 (x86_64 version) on an Athlon 64 system. I am now trying to install WebSphere 5.1, but the Java-based installer keeps giving the following error:

"java/jre/bin/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I've successfully installed WebSphere 5.1 on Pentium III/FC3 systems in the past, which required me to install xorg-X11-deprecated-libs. However, this library is not present in the FC5 distro, and apparently libXp.so.6 is now in the libXp package. I do have libXp-1.0.0-2.2 installed, and have verified that libXp.so.6 is in the /usr/lib64 directory. However, no matter what I try it still isn't resolving.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks and regards,
Steve Rosburg

I searched for this, and found out that libawt.so belongs to j2re-* package. try installing that and check

All,

I have installed Java 2 SDK 1.4.2_12, and it does not resolve the problem I am having in any way. I know that libawt.so is part of the Java runtime, that's where the problem lies -- I am trying to run a graphical Java program, and it's unable to resolve libXp.so.6.

Regards,
Steve

All:

The problem has been resolved. I needed to install the 32-bit version of the libXp package (e.g. "yum install libXp-1.0.0-2.2.i386").
