importing native methods

[IB Diginit]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum (newbie here), but I have been having a problem importing native methods into my java apps. The natives get called OK as long as all the files are in the same directory, but when I package the class and then try to import it into another app from another directory, I get the dreaded UnsatisfiedLinkError. <code follows>
//////////////////////////////////
package com.ibdiginit.utils;
public class ClearScreen{
public ClearScreen(){
clr();
}//constructor
private native void clr();
static{
System.loadLibrary("clr");
}
}//end class
////////////////////////////////////////
import com.ibdiginit.utils.*;
public class test{
public static void main(String[] args){
new ClearScreen();
}//end main
}
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance

hi,
r u on Unix?
if yes then u shd have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set up properly to have the lib<<name>>.so module at the right place..
usually in jre/bin
if u r on windows then also u can put it in PATH variable (the parent directory where the DLL resides) or in the jre/bin of ur java installation...
in java u can know where the JVM goes searching for these DLLs (or .so files) by printing System.getProperty("java.library.path") variable...

hope this helps....
thanks
maulin.
