Otherwise you have to add "-Djava.library.path=[directory where lib_csnd.so]" is. (Granted, I am still having troubles running the lib at all on Linux....). But this all might be overcomplicated as the convention for Windows and OSX are different and I'm not sure if it's possible to get the exact same user experience of "install cs5, open java editor and start coding and running", which might make it simple to just put both the .so and .jar in /usr/local/lib/csound/java and give directions to the user on how to use them. Gotta run, but will try to get back to thread tomorrow when back at home. steven ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
