Martin, I believe the OP doesn't know what an .so-file is.
I'm also not sure if there's something like "execute-privileges" in Windows. Besides, he's talking about Tomcat 6, and I can't find anything like a "shared"-folder in Tomcat 6. My knowledge about all this library-stuff on MS Windows (btw: Which version? Vista? XP?) is quite limited, but I believe it's a bad idea in general just putting this stuff into a system-folder like system32. If those libraries are called via JNI (which is something I also dislike), they have to be put into $CATALINA_HOME/lib. You also have to set the Java-property java.library.path accordingly. A brief overview can be found here: http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=780109 Please note that this description is for Tomcat 5 - meaning don't put them into lib/shared but into lib. My preferred solution would be to put those dlls int [your_app/WEB-INF/lib] so that a strict separation from your app-files and Tomcat is maintained, however, I believe that setting the property java.library.path within your webapp won't help since the Tomcat-class-loader might interfere, but I'm not sure about that - comments on that, anyone?
