UnSatisfiedLink error: no sofile in java.library.path

[prashantp]

Hi,

i've written the folowing program to load a '.so'. I'm working in LINUX.

public class loadSO
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.loadLibrary("sofile");
}
}

The program give mes the java.lang.UnsatisfiedLink error : no sofile in java.library.path
If i put a System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path")); i get the value as null.

I've set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib. No use.
I tried setting java.library.path System.setProperty("java.library.apth","/usr/lib"); but that doesn't help
I even tried to put the lib in the same folder as the java file. but that doesn't help either.

can anyone point out my mistake to me?

The manner in which a library name is mapped to the actual system library is system dependent.

The mapping implies that the real name is mapped to something else than "sofie",
that is for sure, - and/or that the "no found" message is really the result from a
missing priviledges check.
I would have had a look at the security management as well
My unix is rusty but I remember that scenarios like that was quite common in the
land of solaris.

Hi,

That problem was solved by a very silly fix.

Suppose u call System.loadLibrary("loadSO");
then in the /usr/lib folder ur '.so' file name should be libloadSO.so

This is reqd on Linux. after u rename the file. the problems are fixed.
