Method Detail

fixNativeLibrary

public static void fixNativeLibrary(Logger logger)

Make sure libpcsclite is found.The libj2pcsc.so from the JRE attempts to dlopen using the linker name "libpcsclite.so" instead of the appropriate "libpcsclite.so.1". This causes libpcsclite not to be found on GNU/Linux distributions that don't have the libpcsclite.so symbolic link. This method finds the library and forces the JRE to use it instead of attempting to locate it by itself.
