Re: [sleuthkit-developers] Calling Sleuth Kit From JMS

[Stuart M. <st...@ap...>]

The error printed is not that your java code can find libtsk_jni.so, but 
that THAT library is linked against libtsk.so, which your Java VM cannot 
find.  You need to locate the path to the original libtsk.so, let's say 
its in /usr/local/lib.  Then you two options:

1 extend LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/local/lib

2 Add /usr/local/lib to the VM's own shared library search path, like this

java -Djava.library.path=/usr/local/lib -classpath .....

If you have jni code with external dependenices, like you do in this 
case, it might be better to build the libtsk_jni.so file such that the 
tsk calls it makes are linked in STATICALLY, then the issue you are 
having would disappear.  I do this in my own Java/JNI binding to sleuthkit.
