[gentoo-java] Adding native library path to system VM

[gentoo-java] Adding native library path to system VM

[Ted Kosan]

Hello,

I recently emerged the dev-java/rxtx package and it installs native libraries
into /opt/rxtx-2/lib/

My question is, how is this path added to the system's VM so that the native
libraries in it can be found?

I used java-config to add the package's jar to the system's classpath (
CLASSPATH=/usr/share/rxtx-2/lib/RXTXcomm.jar ) but I did not see any
java-config options that could be used to add native libraries to the system
VM.

I am currently using sun-jdk-1.5.0.05.

Thanks in advance :-)

java-config --library rxtx2

aria betelgeuse # java-config -i rxtx-2
/opt/rxtx-2/lib

It is the job of the applications using rxtx to call this in their
startup scripts. You should not set a system wide classpath, that is
deprecated and not supported by the java team.
