Ubuntu 18.04 - Talend does not start - missing libraries ( libswt-pi4-gtk )

[Anonymous]

Hi,

This error on start:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not load SWT library. Reasons:

no swt-pi4-gtk-4922r32 in java.library.path

no swt-pi4-gtk in java.library.path

/home/ubuntu/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-pi4-gtk-4922r32.so: libgtk-3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can't load library: /home/ubuntu/.swt/lib/linux/x86_64/libswt-pi4-gtk.so

I've installed libswt libs, but they;'re all v3. not v4.  Any ideas?

Hi
It is an issue with eclipse, you need to install libswt-gtk-3-java and libswt-gtk-3-jni packages. For more information, see

I'm afraid this doesn't work.  I've tried lots of combinations, but nothing on those links works.

Those libraries are pi3 not pi4.  Something has moved on, seems that Talend won't work in this environment?

I actually installed this version of ubuntu as that's the recommended version, so not sure why it doesnt work.

Hi codek
I don't use Ubuntu, I searched and found a KB article about this issue and it provides the solution is: install libswt-gtk-3-java and libswt-gtk-3-jni packages.

Can you provide also these information?
- Java version
- Talend Studio version

I agree that solution used to work - but it no longer works because it's now on version 4 of that library for some reason, not 3.

is there a version of linux that actually works with v7.1?  I'm happy to switch distro if thats what it takes, but this *is* the recommended version according to the pages on the talend website.

Hello, I use the Talend-Studio-20181026_1147-V7.1.1 in Ubuntu 18.04.3 with java version 1.8.0_231, studio can start.

@codek, our colleague has tested and confirmed v7.1.1 works on Ubuntu 18.04, can you check your JDK version or provide something else that helps us to reproduce the issue. BTW, you can test also the latest version 7.3.1 and see if you have the same issue.

OK. I'll check this again on Monday, but this was a brand new clean ubuntu spun up on EC2, with those extra libraries installed.

I even used the Java VM that was recommended on the support pages (as well as openjdk)

Hi,

For me it worked the following:

• Update the package index:

# sudo apt-get update

• Install libswt-gtk-4-java deb package:

# sudo apt-get install libswt-gtk-4-java

Thanks to this:
