Hi Mark, sorry for me taking so long to reply, I'm now going though my mailbiox folder with patches and suggestion, and noticed I hadn't replied.

I wrote a test case: public class LibLoad { public static void main(String [] args) { String lpath = System.getProperty("java.library.path"); System.out.println(lpath); System.loadLibrary(args[0]); } } here's the output from JDK 1.4.2: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java LibLoad gtk /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/client:/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386:/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/../lib/i386 Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no gtk in java.library.path at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1491) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:788) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:834) at LibLoad.main(LibLoad.java:5) but adding the standard library paths to LD_LIBRARY_PATH works: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib/ /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/bin/java LibLoad dvdcss /opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386/client:/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/lib/i386:/opt/j2sdk_nb/j2sdk1.4.2/jre/../lib/i386:/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib/ that's the way it works in kaffe, too. Given that standard library paths are system dependant (i.e. there is no /lib on Win32 ;), I think we should keep doing as JDK does, and use LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Unfortunately, the Java Class Library books only specify the search order on Win32. cheers, dalibor topic __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
