Hi, I am trying to test a SWT snippet on RedHat 8.0 with Eclipse R2.1.1
(Motif) with no success.

First of all, I added this line to the Configuration Launcher:

-Djava.library.path=/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.mot if_2.1.1/os/linux/x86

But although the JVM founds SWT native libraries, it seems something
else is missing. I am not an experto on Linux so I don't understand what
is happening. Performing a search, I fonud libXm.so.2 within
/opt/eclipse directory:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.motif_2.1.1/os/linux/x8 6/libswt-motif-2135.so:

at org.eclipse.swt.snippets.TestingBorder.main(TestingBorder.ja va:9)

I have done a search within SWT FAQ and within this forum with no luck.

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

Ok, now it is working. I had to execute this:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/eclipse

before starting Eclipse (Motif) and adding:

-Djava.library.path=/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.mot if_2.1.1/os/linux/x86

to the launcher profile.

But I don't understand these to points:

* Why adding both paths to the JVM arguments doesn't work?

-Djava.library.path=/opt/eclipse:/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.ec lipse.swt.motif_2.1.1/os/linux/x86

* Why if LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable doesn't exist in the same machine
on Eclipse (GTK) everything works fine with just:

-Djava.library.path=/opt/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk _2.1.1/os/linux/x86

* Why does Eclipse (Motif) work itself without LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variable set?

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

Answer from Peter Manahan to this point:

<<The java.library.path just tells java where to find a particular
shared object. It isn't java that is looking for the motif library it is
the native linker looking for it. The native linker doesn't know about
java.library.path.>>

Answer from Peter Manahan to this point:

<<By default /usr/lib:/lib is the default lookup path. The GTK libraries
are in /usr/lib >>

Answer from Peter Manahan to this point:

<<It doesn't if you run it from a directory that is not where the
eclipse executable is. I think the current working directory is also
searched.
So if you are in /opt/eclipse and run ./eclipse it works. If you are in
/opt and try to run eclipse/eclipse it wouldn't work. Haven't tried it
recently though I be surprised if the behaviour has changed. >>
