Description Jerry James 2011-11-25 17:52:47 UTC
Description of problem:
I am working on a jReality package (http://www.jreality.de/), which can use jogl to display complex graphics.  However, when I launch jReality, I get an UnsatisfiedLinkError complaining that libgluegen-rt.so cannot be found.  This implies that the trick in jogl-defaultFedoraPath.patch doesn't actually work.

This seems to be a bug in both gluegen and jogl, but I'll file against jogl for now.  Is there some reason these packages do not follow the packaging guidelines for this case?

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Java#Guideline

It seems to me that that would solve the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gluegen-1-0.20102503svn13.fc16.x86_64
jogl-1.1.1a-5.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the pile of packages for jReality (see http://jjames.fedorapeople.org/)
2. Try to run one of the examples; e.g., de.jreality.tutorial.geom.Cube05
3.
  
Actual results:
JReality complains "Possibly no jogl libraries in java.library.path!" and uses software rendering.  Running under a debugger shows the UnsatisfiedLinkError being thrown.

Expected results:
Rendering with jogl.

Additional info:
If I pass -Djava.library.path=:/usr/lib64/gluegen:/usr/lib64/jogl to java, then I get the expected jogl rendering, which indicates that the jogl-defaultFedoraPath.patch trick is right in a sense, but it is apparently being applied too late.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 14:44:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '16'.

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 16'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 16 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, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 15:59:32 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 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.
