All required network software that is supplied by your database system vendors must be 64-bit compliant.
For the driver for Apache Cassandra: A 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), J2SE 6 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [sl | a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
The library path environment variable is:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, HP-UX Itanium, and Oracle Solaris
LIBPATH on AIX
AIX
IBM POWER processor
AIX 5L operating system, version 5.3 fixpack 5 and higher, 6.1, and 7.1
An application compatible with components that were built using Visual Age C++ 6.0.0.0 and the AIX native threading model
Before you can use the driver, you must set the LIBPATH environment variable to include the paths containing the libjvm.so library and the libnio.so library, which are installed in a subdirectory of your Java Development Kit (JDK). For example, you would add the following paths for Java 6 installed in the /usr directory:
In this example, /usr/java6_64/jre/lib/ppc64/classic is the location of libjvm.so, while /usr/java6_64/jre/lib/ppc64 is the location of libnio.so.
Note: The driver is compiled using the –brtl loader option. Your application must support runtime linking functionality.
HP-UX
HP-UX IPF 11i operating system, Versions 2 and 3 (B.11.23 and B.11.31)
HP aC++ v. 5.36 and the HP-UX 11 native (kernel) threading model (posix draft 10 threads)
Note: Do not link with the –lc linker option.
Note: Set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable to the libjvm.so of your JVM installation.

For x64: An application compatible with components that were built using Oracle C++ Compiler version 5.8 and the Solaris native (kernel) threading model
For the driver for Apache Cassandra: A 64-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), J2SE 6 or higher, is required. Also, you must set the library path environment variable of your operating system to the directory containing your JVM’s libjvm.so [sl | a] file and that directory’s parent directory.
