I am getting the error below when running a java file that tries to open an ods file.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/software/jdk1.6.0_45/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeL

I tried - 'yum install libXext' but got the msg - already installed.

Any suggestions?

Answer:

do yum install libXstst.so.6 It installs and works fine
