Problem

PDF exports fail. The following appears in the atlassian-confluence.log:

[ERROR] Fri May 06 19:57:02 PDT 2005 [com.atlassian.confluence.util.XWorkTransactionInterceptor] Invoking rollback for transaction on action 
'/pages/doexportpage.action (ExportPageAction.execute())' due to throwable: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 
/opt/j2sdk1.4.2_08/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Throwable:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/j2sdk1.4.2_08/jre/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Other types of operations requiring the creation of custom images (thumbnail resizing) may also generate similar errors.

Cause

Your Linux installation is missing the correct X11 libraries.

Resolution

To resolve this issue, install the correct X11 libraries corresponding to your Linux distribution. See Confluence UNIX and X11 Dependencies.
