SAP GUI 7.30 for Java will not start on Linux

Former Member — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 12:15:51 GMT

Hello,

I installed SAP GUI 7.30, java version for Linux and I cannot start it by clicking on its icon. The application logo appears but then disappears after loading the application. I ran it from the console to get the errors. Did anyone have the same issue?

console response:

/home/user/SAPClients/SAPGUI/bin/guilogon

Hello,

What is the distribution you have installed?

Oracle Java SE 7 32- or 64-bit
Make sure that the Java
Plugin is properly installed.

C++ runtime: libstdc++.so.6
This library is generally included with
current distributions, at least they all have packages with gcc 4.1 which
include this library. For information where to find the packages required to
install, please refer to SAP Note
909250.

Supported Linux distributions:
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11
- SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11
- openSUSE 12.1 and 12.2
- Fedora 16 and 17
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04

Hello Saulo,

please make sure to use a current Oracle JRE (e.g. 1.7u11) and try again.

If the issue persists, please create a support message on component BC-FES-JAV and provide the complete stack trace as an attachment.

Best regards

Rolf-Martin

Hello, All,

Try to install 1.7.0 last version, via yum install. After this the sapgui 7.3 work fine!.

Best Regards,

Same problem in Ubuntu 12. Use Oracle (Sun) Java JRE.

First removed prior versions of Java.

sudo apt-get purge openjdk-\*

Install newer version following this: http://www.duinsoft.nl/packages.php?t=en

and also the repositories. Worked fine for me.
