then the Java environment misses a library.

Go into the subfolder lib/ of the Java installation (e.g. /opt/jre8/lib/amd64) and check the library dependencies of libawt_xawt.so.

$ ldd libawt_xawt.so

linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffd307fe000)

libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007f6f42498000)

libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f6f42195000)

libawt.so => /opt/jdk1.8.0_77/jre/lib/amd64/libawt.so (0x00007f6f41ec3000)

libXext.so.6 => /lib64/libXext.so.6 (0x00007f6f41cb1000)

libX11.so.6 => /lib64/libX11.so.6 (0x00007f6f41972000)

libXi.so.6 => /lib64/libXi.so.6 (0x00007f6f4114d000)

libjava.so => /opt/jdk1.8.0_77/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so (0x00007f6f40f21000)

libjvm.so => not found

libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6f40b5f000)
