Unable to start a Java/Lanterna program

Question

I'm currently writing a small terminal application, using what I find a very cool Java library : Lanterna. it allows me to write ncurses-like application using similar concepts to Swing.

As that application ultumate goal is to be run on servers, I test it on a Vagrant ubuntu box. Unfortunatly, at each start-up, I get the following error :

vagrant@precise64:~/myProject/target$ java -jar myProject-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -Djava.awt.headless=true
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.6.0_37/jre/lib/amd64/xawt/libmawt.so: libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I guess there is a problem with my Java installation, which come from the Chef solo Java recipe using this configuration

    chef.json = {
        :java => {
            :install_flavor => "oracle",
            :oracle => {
                "accept_oracle_download_terms" => true
            }               
        },
        :maven => {
            :version => '3',
            :setup_bin => 'true'
        }
    }

But how can I fix it ?

Answer 1

libXtst.so comes with a package named: libxtst6 ; than is in debian. Check if that package is installed, maybe chef does not install that package automatically .

Good-luck
