What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow http://www.ws4gl.org/download/compiling
2. Start webcamstudio
3. Add Free Text
4. start Free Text

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: text on the output
Instead: nothing happens but an error in the console

SOLUTION:
Had a hard time figuring it out:
1.a. Download libmatthew-java-0.7.2.tar.gz
1.b. copy the sources (cx) into the src folder
1.c. rebuild

2. Either
I. install libmatthew with yum
II. start the program with
java -Djava.library.path="/usr/lib64/libmatthew-java" -jar "/path/to/webcamstudio-read-only/trunk/dist/WebcamStudio.jar"
(/usr/lib/... if 32-bit)

OR
I. install libmatthew by compiling the source
II. start the program with
java -Djava.library.path="/usr/local/lib/jni" -jar "/path/to/webcamstudio-read-only/trunk/dist/WebcamStudio.jar"

What is that libmattew-java library.  I did not use that...  Will have to reseach that dependency.

Since you got it working on Fedora, could you send the HowTo, so I could put it on the website for Fedora users?
