Error launching installer in Linux RHEL undefined symbol: Xutf8TextListToTextProperty

sangano · 05-20-2012, 11:09 PM

Hello,

I am trying to launch an installer for a specific software in my machine, and it failed showing me the following message:

Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...
Extracting the installation resources from the installer archive...
Configuring the installer for this system's environment...

Launching installer...

/tmp/install.dir.8758/Linux/resource/jre/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /tmp/install.dir.8758/Linux/resource/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: undefined symbol: Xutf8TextListToTextProperty

What does it mean? something related to the operating system? could it be solved easily?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

Welcome to LQ!
Which installer are you trying to launch?

Iam facing the same issue when migrating JRE1.6 from JRE 1.4. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

The OP's help request is over four years old, I doubt he is still around looking for solution.

Hi guys,
JFYI,
Even though, his question has got no answer and it has become very old, I was able to sort it out after a week's time of tiring effort.
In the case of an AWT application being launched from Linux OS, starting from JRE 1.5 onwards, need to set the TOOLKIT information in the system level or export at runtime as below,

export AWT_TOOLKIT=XToolkit
export AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit

This helped me launch the application successfully, hope this might help somebody in future.
