Missing something with gcj and jni - libjni.so?

Fri May 13 16:33:00 GMT 2005

Hello,
I'm currently prototyping gcj on a java web server application that uses JNI. I'm using the following command to compile the application:
gcj-4 -fjni --main=hp.WebServerStartup `cat compilelist.in` --encoding=ISO-8859-1 -o webserver > foo.txt 2>&1
The compile works fine and I'm left with a webserver executable. However, when I try to run the executable, I get the following exception:
-> ./webserver
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: libjni: libjni.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The problem is I can't find libjni.so anywhere on my system.
The system is a RedHat 9 machine using gcc/gcj 4.0 that was compiled with gcc 3.2.2. I built 4.0 using the following configuration:
../gcc-4.0.0/configure --prefix=/home/djoham/installs/gcc/4.0-install --program-suffix=-4 -enable-languages=java
But no libjni.so appears on my system. Surprisingly, Google hasn't been much help either so I've decided I must be so far out in the weeds it's time to ask for help. I'm totally new at gcj (and the compilation thereof) so if there is a Fine Manual somewhere that describes this, I'm happy to be directed in that direction. Any other help and pointers would be very appreciated as well...
Thanks,
David
