debugging participant create failure on linux

A java application works fine on Windows, but when I try to run it under Ubuntu 14.04.05 LTS I get:

com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_ERROR: error creating entity
        at com.rti.dds.util.Utilities.rethrow(Utilities.java:91)
        at com.rti.dds.infrastructure.NativeFactoryMixin.create_entityI(NativeFactoryMixin.java:187)
        at com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactoryImpl.create_participant(DomainParticipantFactoryImpl.java:284)

with no other information.  Windows I know what chickens I need to wave to get the middleware to work, but I'm having difficulty with the linux configuration.  Because linux.

+ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/uti/ConnextDDS/523/rti_connext_dds-5.2.3/lib/x64Linux3gcc4.8.2
+ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/home/uti/ConnextDDS/523/rti_connext_dds-5.2.3/bin
+ java -classpath .:[snippage]:/home/utimaco/ConnextDDS/523/rti_connext_dds-5.2.3/lib/java/nddsjavad.jar Launch -domainId 112 -d 5 -Dev 3001@10.19.72.217 -rate 600 -cdb ks217.cdb

what I'm wondering is if I'm using the wrong arch libraries, as uname -a returns  4.4.0-31-generic and not a Linux3 kernel variant. ldd reports all .so files are available (no unresolved links).

Is there a way in linux to drill down to the actual reason for the participant to not be created?

rtiddsping works on the arch.

Suggestions?

Thank you
