Description Mohamed El Morabity 2010-05-09 22:45:25 UTC

Description of problem:
When launching a Java program using jpl.jar, the following exception occurs:
   java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jpl in java.library.path


How reproducible:
Compile the Java example file given in /usr/share/doc/pl-jpl-5.7.11/examples/java/Family/:
  $ cp -r /usr/share/doc/pl-jpl-5.7.11/examples/java/Family/ .
  $ javac -classpath /usr/lib64/pl-jpl/jpl.jar Family.java
  $ java -classpath /usr/lib64/pl-jpl/jpl.jar:. Family
  
Actual results:
An exception occurs:
   Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jpl in java.library.path
	at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1678)
	at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:840)
	at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1047)
	at jpl.JPL.loadNativeLibrary(JPL.java:100)
	at jpl.fli.Prolog.<clinit>(Prolog.java:85)
	at jpl.Query.open(Query.java:286)
	at jpl.Util.textToTerm(Util.java:162)
	at jpl.Query.<init>(Query.java:198)
	at Family.main(Family.java:12)

Expected results:
   libjpl.so should be found and loaded.

Additional info:
Running the class with -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib64/pl-jpl/ is obviously the solution, but the library should be loaded without any intervention :-).
Moreover Java packaging guidelines say that:
  " If the JNI-using code calls System.loadLibrary you'll have to patch it to use System.load, passing it the full path to the dynamic shared object."
whereas it doesn't seem to be the case (no appropriate patch in the pl source package, see also in the source the src/java/jpl/JPL.java file).

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2010-11-03 15:14:00 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2010-11-18 13:46:38 UTC

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2010-12-03 14:53:01 UTC

Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 4 Petr Pisar 2010-12-03 15:04:27 UTC

Still presents in F14.
