When I compile I added the .jar path by the comand: javac -classpath LPex1.java this command works with no errors, but when I write the following command: java -Djava.library.path= LPex1 I got the error message that I posted earlied. I think there is a permission problem where the library can not be accessed by the user account! but since I am new to the linux os I don't really know how to solve it! -----Original Message----- From: Niels Thykier
