[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Eclipse MapServer libmapscript.so: cannot open shared object file

[Ryan Ollerenshaw]

When trying to create a java application using eclipse i get the following
error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: libmapscript: libmapscript.so: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

Here is my code:

import  edu.umn.gis.mapscript.*;
import java.io.*;

public class HelloServlet {

        public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.loadLibrary("mapscript");
              mapObj  map;
              imageObj image;

              map=new mapObj("/var/www/html/mapserver/htdocs/display.map");
              map.setProjection("init=epsg:4326");
              image=map.draw();
              image.save("test.png",map);
    }
}
