Solution
We’ve just performed a new installation of OBIEE 11.1.1.9 on an Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 virtual machine for a customer, all went well as you’d expect, but afterwards we discovered that the server version of the catalog manager (run from the ./runcat.sh command) didn’t work, it came up with the usual launch messages of:
|
1 |
oracle> ./runcat.sh BIFNDN_LABEL =BIFNDN_11.1.1.9.0_LINUX.X64_150415.1247 # Command |
But the GUI catalog manager window didn’t pop-up, instead the linux command prompt returned with nothing happening. Next we looked in the runcat log file .log under /catalogmanager/workspace/.metadata, this contained the following message:

So it wasn’t happy about the swt-pi-gtk-34.so or swt-pi-gtk.so library files. These files are included in the OBIEE installation, so they weren’t missing. So I went to the directory were these are stored:
|
1 2 3 4 |
oracle> cd $MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/bifoundation/web/catalogmanager/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/20/1/.cp oracle> ls libswt-gtk-3452.so libswt-pi-gtk-3452.so |
And running the ldd command against the files lists all shared library dependences:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
oracle> ldd libswt-pi-gtk-3452.so ldd: warning: you do not have execution permission for `./libswt-pi-gtk-3452.so' linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffd6abe3000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found libgthread-2.0.so.0 => /lib64/libgthread-2.0.so.0 (0x00007fc6b6c1f000) libXtst.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXtst.so.6 (0x00007fc6b6a1a000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fc6b6686000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc6b6468000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007fc6b6151000) librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007fc6b5f49000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x00007fc6b5c0b000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXext.so.6 (0x00007fc6b59f9000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXi.so.6 (0x00007fc6b57ea000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055c192698000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1 (0x00007fc6b55cb000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fc6b53c7000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXau.so.6 (0x00007fc6b51c4000) |
This clearly shows that one is missing: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, metalink (Doc ID 1413909.1)
There is a package missing. (gtk2.x86_64 0:2.24.23-6.el6)
|

root> yum install gtk2.x86_64 0:2.24.23-6.el6 |
Switched back to user oracle to start runcat.sh again.

This time the catalog manager opened up with no fonts – all characters where replaced with a square character.

yum install liberation-sans-fonts |
Now the catalog manager starts.
