Resolution:
SDK requires the TIBCO Rendezvous Java library, which in turn requires a native shared library (libtibrvj) to function.

To resolve this problem, please check and set the following:

1. Set your PATH environment variable to point to the TIBCO Rendezvous bin directory, e.g. /usr/tibco/tibrv/bin.

2. Set your shared library path environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH (HPUX also looks for SHLIB_PATH) to include TIBCO RV lib directory. For Solaris, it's LD_LIBRARY_PATH, for AIX this variable should be LIBPATH (newer IBM java implementation, older version accept LD_LIBRARY_PATH)

Remember to do an "export SHLIB_PATH=/usr/tibco/tibrv/lib" for sh/ksh users.

3. After you have tried all of the above but to no avail, try to un-install and re-install RV.


Here's a saample stack dump:

What does it mean when my SDK Java application fails to start and gives a "Native implementation required" exception?
