Unable to start AMARES as normal user

[Markus Sack]

Hi,

I am not able to start AMARES as a “normal” user on our Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
I get the error:
clicked on 999999mrui.quantitation.amares.view.Amares
Exception in thread “AWT-EventQueue-0” java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Expecting an absolute path of the library: ?/.eMrui/native/libamaresQuantitation.so

It seems that jMRUI has problems to identify the correct username and/or path. Because as “root” I do not have any problems and this questionmark in the path becomes a ‘/root/.eMrui..’.

Anyone has a solution or maybe a workaround?
Thanks in advance

Dear Markus,

Probably some libraries are missing. Probably it’s libg2c0.

On ubuntu I recommend this:

Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20070730T000000Z/ lenny main
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20070730T000000Z/ lenny main
deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20070730T000000Z/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian-security/20070730T000000Z/ lenny/updates main

and install by sudo apt-get install libg2c0_3.4…….

Tell me if it helped.

Dear Michal,

I installed libg2c0 in version 3.4 but without any change.
I can open files.. change things and so on.. but as soon as I try to open AMARES or anything else which you can find in the ‘.eMrui/natives’ folder I get this error message.
Maybe it helps: Same for jMRUI4 but NOT for version 3. In v3 everything works.

Any other idea maybe?

Do you have 32bit Java?
Which jMRUI version are you running?

[Markus Sack]

Yes.. I’m using a 32bit java, JDK.
JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java32/jdk1.8.0_60
JRE_HOME=/usr/local/java32/jdk1.8.0_60/jre

I tried every jMRUI version from 3 to now 5.2 (so.. 3/4/5.2).
We’re using jMRUI for quite a long time now. But since we changed our system to Ubuntu14.04 only jMRUI version 3 works properly.

And as I said: What I don’t understand is that if I start jMRUI5 as root everything works.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

it seems to work in general..
I created a new local user on our system and with this account I can start AMARES.
So I guess I have to first talk to our IT department where the main difference between my and this account is.

Thanks alot.
