SAPGUI for Java error

[Former Member]

I installed "SAPGUI for Java" on Debian Etch. Installation went fine with no issues. When I add new connection and try to connect, I am getting below error message:

Attempt to load shared library /opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.00rev4/bin/libJPlatin.so failed.
The library file exists, so either the program don't has the previleges to access the library or the library is not loadable by the shared object loader
Technical information:
Error location: GuiJniLoader.loadPlatinLibrary()
Error message: /opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.00rev4/bin/libJPlatin.so: Can't load IA 32-bit. so on a IA 32-bit platform

When I click "OK" button, I am getting error

JniAgilibAdaptor.<init>: Cannot load JNI library

Any idea what might be the problem?

I installed Java 1.4.2 and it gave me almost the same error as with the 1.5. However, error notified me with an additional information that "libstdc++5" is missing. I installed this package and gui error disappeared..So, finally upgraded java to 1.6 and sapgui works well with java 1.6...no problem at all..

All-set now..thanks a lot guys for your help.

I am trying to install on Fedora 7 with Java 1.6.0_02. and the same error message appears. (So it might be said that java version is the problem.) So I tried to install java 1.4.2_15 on Fedora 7 and tried to install.

Another error appears libXp.so.6 file can't find.

Until now, no solution yet. I am using 32 bit. J

Dear Meung Sann

the libXp error can be resolved very quickly by calling:

1. yum install libXp

Thanks

Hi,

Could you tell me the version of your java?

Thanks,

Hi George,

Version is 1.5.0

java version "1.5.0_10"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_10-b03)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_10-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Phani

Hi Phani,

You might want to use the 1.4.2 version which is more reliable, also please check and make sure you use a 32-bit java vm. You cannot run a 32-bit java application with a 64-bit java vm.

Thanks,

George

I installed it on eLive distribution which has 1.5 Java version. I am successfully able to login into SAP system on elive (debain based distro). So, I don't think 1.5 version is the problem and it seems 1.5 is backward compatible.

I also tried installing SAP Gui on different folder (instead of /opt, I tried /home/user) just to make sure shared libraries are not causing any issue (also tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable)...

Nothing seemed to have worked on Debian Etch... bottom line: SAP GUI for java worked on ubuntu fiesty (kubuntu), elive -- all of which are debian based but did not work on Debian Etch itself...any clue???

What do you see when entering

file /opt/SAPClients/SAPGUI7.00rev4/bin/libJPlatin.so

Are you on 32 or 64 bit?
