If you're using linux reinstall it with 32-bit version distributive - a lot of problems will be gone (browser plugins, buggy 64-bit ports, etc...)

Well, 64-bit processors have complete support of 32-bit instructions. I have Athlon 64 and my linux is a 32-bit distributive. Works perfectly! You can not run 32-bit java on 64-bit linux because as far as I know linker can not use 32-bit and 64-bit libraries in the same process. You need also to have compiled as 32-bit copies of system libraries that JRE uses. Some linux gurus made 32-bit mozilla run in 64-bit linux box. And simple question: why not to use 64-bit JRE?

P.S. Mozilla java plugin exists only in 32-bit version. And flash player too. And real player. Some ports of programs do not work with 64-bit. Do you really need 64? Don't worry about loose of productivity - it's a commercial trick ;)

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

But the point is that, we are using some 32 bit native library. Which is dependent of 32 bit jre.

so I have to use 32 version of jre even if in 64 bit machine. I am not using Athlon I am using Intel processor.

64 bit Jre I can't use.

:)

try truss (on Solaris) or strace (on Linux) to see where why you arefailing to load libjava.so. You might consider reinstalling your JREto make sure that it's not an issue with an incomplete JRE installation.
