Public bug reported: The OpenJDK codebase contains a class at sun.security.smartcardio.PlatformPCSC which looks at the sun.arch.data.model to see if it's a 64-but O/S or not. If so, and it's not SunOS then it adds a little piece into the library lookup path of lib64, thus meaning it looks for
/usr/lib64/libpcsclite.so which doesn't exist in Ubuntu 11.10 as it's now at /usr/lib/libpcsclite.so instead. There is a workaround of adding -Dsun.security.smartcardio.library=/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so as a JVM argument to force the library path, but this shouldn't be necessary. To see the problem: 1. obtain a device that runs with pcscd 2. Compile the following Java code 3. Run with and without the -D flag above to see the difference (you shouldn't get the "None" provided by "None" message with the flag): package com.moo.bug; import java.util.List; import java.util.logging.Level; import java.util.logging.Logger; import javax.smartcardio.CardException; import javax.smartcardio.CardTerminal; import javax.smartcardio.TerminalFactory; public class BugDemo { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(BugDemo.class.getName()); public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis(); // show the list of available terminals List<CardTerminal> terminals; try { TerminalFactory factory = TerminalFactory.getDefault(); System.out.println("Factory is: " + factory); terminals = factory.terminals().list(); System.out.println("Terminals: " + terminals); } catch (CardException e) { log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not open terminals: " + e.getMessage(), e); return; } } } ** Affects: openjdk-6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/897299 Title: OpenJDK is looking for libpcsclite.so in wrong place on 64-bit 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/897299/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
