Question: I am trying to use [SVMLight](http://svmlight.joachims.org/) from Java, using the [JNI wrapper on this page](http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~mtb/):

```
  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: 
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.
Had same issue in win64bit and JVM 64bit

Was solved by uploading dll to system32
