Description of problem:
This isn't necessarily a gnu-crypto bug, since there are a couple of
ways to fix....

But, what's annoying about the current arrangement is that you have to
manually add gnu-crypto to your CLASSPATH in order to use it as a
provider.  I've seen this confuse users (after they've figured out how
to specify the provider... see 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145730 )

Does Sun require that you add their provider to your CLASSPATH when
you're running in Sun's environment?

One idea is to symlink gnu-crypto.jar to libgcj's extensions directory
at install time.

Another idea is to always add it to CLASSPATH in java-gcj-compat.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnu-crypto-2.0.1-1jpp_1fc

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Compile and run the following with gij4.
2.
3.

import java.security.*;

public class hp
{
    public static void main (String args[])
    {
        java.security.KeyPairGenerator kpg = null;

        try {
            kpg = java.security.KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA");
        } catch(java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }

        System.out.println (kpg);
    }
}


Actual Results:  WARNING: Error loading security provider
gnu.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto: java.lang.Cla ssNotFoundException:
gnu.crypto.jce.GnuCrypto not found in [file:./, core:/]
java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException: DSA
null


Expected Results:  $ gij4 hp
java.security.DummyKeyPairGenerator@8d7f740


Additional info:

This is the work-around:

$ CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/gnu-crypto.jar gij4 hp
java.security.DummyKeyPairGenerator@8d7f740
