Package: gcj-4.0 Version: 4:4.0.3-3 Severity: important Justification: violates a *should* directive of the Debian Policy for Java
The default java.library.path of applications compiled using gcj does not include /usr/lib/jni. The Debian Policy for Java [1] states that /usr/lib/jni *should* be the default. $ gcj -I/usr/share/java/swt.jar Hello.java -lswt -lswt-pi --main=Hello -oHello $ ./Hello Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: libswt-pi-gtk-3139: libswt-pi-gtk-3139.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.Runtime._load(java.lang.String, boolean) (/usr/lib/libgcj.so.6.0.0) ... $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jni ./Hello [works] The rpath can be used, although this is not recomended by Debian policy. $ gcj -I/usr/share/java/swt.jar Hello.java -lswt -lswt-pi --main=Hello -oHello -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/jni $ ./Hello [works] ... or /usr/lib/jni can be added to /etc/ld.so.conf. $ sudo sh -c 'echo /usr/lib/jni >>/etc/ld.so.conf' $ sudo ldconfig $ ./Hello [works] However, I'd like to see /usr/lib/jni added to the default java.library.path of an application compiled with gcj.
