Problem

Page with view macros do not display correctly or pages do no render at all. The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log

atlassian-confluence.log
2015-12-17 20:52:50,579 ERROR [localhost-startStop-1] [atlassian.confluence.security.DefaultCaptchaManager] afterPropertiesSet Could not initialise CAPTCHA service. The most likely reason for this is that Java's graphics subsystem is not properly configured. Try starting Confluence's JVM with the -Djava.awt.headless=true option. /opt/jdk1.8.0_65/jre/lib/i386/libfontmanager.so: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not initialize class sun.awt.X11FontManager

Diagnosis

Environment

  • The operating system is 64 bit linux
  • 32 bit Java is installed
  • Pages use viewppt, viewpdf, viewdoc or viewxls.

Cause

The 32 bit Java is looking for a 32 bit library (libgcc_s.so.1) that is not installed in the 64 bit operating system.

Resolution

Install the Oracle 64 bit Java version for your operating system.
