I'm trying to install jogl on a xp machine.  I put the two .dll files in windows/system32 and my tiny program comples correctly.  When I run it I get an error: jawt.dll not found as it fails on the loadLibrary line.

Any suggestions?  It's a clean install of the current java release.

import net.java.games.jogl.*;
public class Simple {
     public static void main( String[] args )
     {
           System.out.println( System.getProperty("java.library.path") );
           System.loadLibrary("jogl");
           System.err.println("***** jogl loaded ******");
     }
}

No, I'm still at the install step.  Evidently jogl.dll uses jawt.dll as a dependent library.  When I run the tiny program, it fails on loadLibrary("jogl") with error message that it cannot finddependent library "jawt".

I can't figure out why it doesn't find "jawt"  It's a clean install of java.

What happens when you do a

System.loadLibrary("jawt");
?

It should work.  If it doesn't your JRE installation is hosed.

I've had problems when dynamically loading jawt from another dll... I solved it by doing the above loadLibrary call before the loadLibrary of my own DLL.  It seemed that for the Win32 APIs the jawt.dll file was not in the path, but the JRE knew where to find it.

Note that you should not need to perform a System.loadLibrary("jogl") at all. This is taken care of by the internal initialization of the JOGL classes. Note also that JOGL loads jawt manually by calling System.loadLibrary("jawt") before calling System.loadLibrary("jogl").

I recently installed JDK ver 1.4.2 (seems to be working with some sample programs I've tryied) and want to try my luck with JoGL but have run into some promblems.

I tryed calling loadLibrary("jogl"), at first it errored not finding jogl.  After I put jogl.dll and jogl_cg.dll into "C:\j2sdk1.4.2\jre\bin" it comes with this error:
Hello World!
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\j2sdk1.4.2\jre\bin
\jawt.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

       at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:834)
       at HelloWorld.main(HelloWorld.java:48)
Press any key to continue...

I'm new to java and havn't got a clue as to what this means.
Really appreciate it if anyone could/would help me some

Ps. i'm using windows XP pro

Pps. Tried loadLibrary("jawt"), it gives the exact same error

Thanks DrLabMan, that was exactly the problem.

I thought I had already put it in the path but I obviously hadn't found the right place
