Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit plat

Question

I am trying to use SVMLight from Java, using the JNI wrapper on this page:

  static {
    System.loadLibrary("lib/JNI_SVM-light-6.01/lib/svmlight");
  }

I get the following error:

... lib\JNI_SVM-light-6.01\lib\svmlight.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform

Can I solve this by recompiling the .dll for 64 bit? How would I go about doing this? Is there some other workaround I can use? SVMLight makes the C source code available.

Answer 1

I had the same issue with a Java application using tibco dll originally intended to run on Win XP. To get it to work on Windows 7, I made the application point to 32-bit JRE. Waiting to see if there is another solution.
