Hi,

I am trying to install servoy-developer on a linux machine: Red Hat Linux Fedora

but I am getting this error:

For some reason I miss some software lib’s. Is there a list which librarys must be installed for Servoy? Java is’nt enough, because java is working fine!

I did a default installation of Fedora.

Ah yes, I have had that too on a Debian install.
This one was headless (no GUI) so I copied the files over and got that error when trying to run Servoy Server.

In short, you need some X-Window core libraries (!?).
libawt.so requires at least the following libs:

  • libXt.so.6
  • libXtst.so.6
  • libX11.so.6

Not sure why a faceless server process would need AWT.
I already reported this to Servoy support.

Hope this helps.

Where can I find those libs?

If you want to install on a server without a head make sure you first create the installer xml file as decribed in the manual (in short: install on a box with a head let it create the installer xml at the end of install, edit that file to correct the installation dir then install using that file: java -jar servoy_installer.jar install.xml)

install X
How to install X? That depends on your distribution, build, version, etc, etc
Welcome to the wonderful world of Linux.

Jan, I know that it’s distribution independant,

but what I really like to know up front, which libs must be installed or are needed, to run Servoy developer, rather than to find out afterwards.

So is there a list of it somewhere?

That was exactly what i said: install X

NOTE X is not a variable in the above but the X Window system often also known as XFree etc.

On a related note: If you don’t know what x is and how to install it should you really be running Linux? Get a Mac if you want Unix to be easy! Linux is like a racing car: you shouldn’t be allowed to operate it without a license.

I am just racing on a mini-bike! :)
I have not any plans to go live with Linux. I am just curious and learning every day! 8)
