Hello fellow programmers.
I'm a new programmer to linux so forgive my stupidness.
I tried to create my first java SWT application but I came across some errors that I'm unable to understand and figure out.
When I try to run my program from Eclipse I get the following error.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-motif-3316 in java.library.path
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java :1682)
at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:822)
at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:993)
at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Libra ry.java:123)
at org.eclipse.swt.internal.motif.OS.<clinit>(OS.java:18)
at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device.<clinit>(Device.java:115)
at HelloWorldSWT.main(HelloWorldSWT.java:14)


Any advised would be appreciated.

You need to install Sun's version of java. See this howto (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201378) (ignoring the parts on eclipse, unless you want eclipse) for how to set up sun's java.

It still didn't work. I guess I wasn't meant to be a programmer. ](*,)

Maybe you could start over from there:

The important part being item no 5 at the bottom of that page. You have to give the location where your swt native libraries are in the "-Djava.library.path=...".
"UnsatisfiedLinkError" always means a .so (or an entry point in a .so) can't be found (libswt-motif-3316.so in your case)

Also, in linux (unlike Windows) the current directory is not part of the system include path. So you can't just put the .so files in the same directory and expect it to find them.

I beleive you can also set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to the directory containing the shared library.

-Djava.library.path is a beter solution.

Are you sure you want to be using the Motif version of SWT and not the GTK version?
