Java .so's

[Almost-retired]

Greetings all;

I am setting up a java server application that is likely about as off the wall as you can imagine, but it allows my old coco3 computer to use a hard drive on this machine as if it was connected directly to the coco itself.

This server package comes with a java library, "librxtxSerial.so" and I have no clue where in this filesystem to put it so that a "java -jar DriveWire.jar" can find and use it.  Surely there is a standard parking place for such java stuff?

Thanks

try to first put it at "/usr/local/lib"

I put it in /usr/lib and it seems to work.  But you are right.  I tyried to move it to /usr/local/lib but it doesn't work there, even after running an ldconfig, so I moved it back.  Our package manager does not list it, so it will probably be ok in /usr/lib.

If I can recall to do it, I'll move it to local before I reboot next, there may be a path cache I'm fighting with now.

Thanks.
