Your problem comes from the 32 64 bit version of your JDK JRE    Your shared lib is searched for a 32 bit version   Your default JDK is a 32 bit version  Try to install a 64 bit one by default and relaunch your   sh file

EDIT  As mentioned by Stephen Niedzielski in his comment  the issue seems to come from the 32-bit being of the JRE  which is de facto  looking for the 32-bit version of libXtst6  To install the required version of the library     sudo apt-get install libxtst6 i386     Type     sudo apt-get update   sudo apt-get install libxtst6   If this isn   t OK  type     sudo updatedb   locate libXtst   it should return something like    usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu libXtst so 6         Mine is OK  usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu libXtst so 6 1 0   If you do not have libXtst so 6 but do have libXtst so 6 X X create a symbolic link     cd  usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu    ln -s libXtst so 6 libXtst so 6 X X   Hope this helps

Had that issue on Ubuntu 14 04  In my case I had also libXtst so missing   Could not open library  libXtst so   libXtst so  cannot open shared object  file  No such file or directory   Make sure your symbolic link is pointing to proper file   cd  usr lib x86 64-linux-gnu and list libXtst with    ll  grep libXtst                                                                                                                                                             lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        16 Oct  7  2016 libXtst so 6 - gt  libXtst so 6 1 0  -rw-r--r--   1 root root     22880 Aug 16  2013 libXtst so 6 1 0   Then just create proper symbolic link using   sudo ln -s libXtst so 6 libXtst so   List again   ll   grep libXtst lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        12 Sep 20 10 23 libXtst - gt  libXtst so 6 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        12 Sep 20 10 23 libXtst so - gt  libXtst so 6 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root        16 Oct  7  2016 libXtst so 6 - gt  libXtst so 6 1 0 -rw-r--r--   1 root root     22880 Aug 16  2013 libXtst so 6 1 0   all set
