In windows it is easy to have everything, including the j.dll, in the same directory. This is because of the rules windows uses to search for libraries. This is not possible without a lot of extra mechanism in unix and the best solution is to put the libj601.so (or libj601.dylib for Mac) in a standard place such as /usr/lib.

There is some discussion of these issues in User Manual|Tech Details|Binaries -Shared Libraries - Directories

Will it be easier if J put all executable and dll (lib.so) together. A side effect of this approach will make it portable, that is, install it into usb-drive and run everywhere without admin privilege.

   If you move j601 you need to set/export JPATHj601 to
   be the path to profile.ijs.
