[Rxtx] RXTX No errors, but no ports?

[James A R Brown]

Hi,

I was trying to test RXTX on my Linux machine (x86_64) before taking the
next step with jamod. Its a NB swing project with the JAR included.

To start with I thought I would just simply query the system for
available ports (machine has /dev/ttyS0 ok, although no hard port). Code
snippet below.

I put the relevant x86_64 so in /usr/lib64 and for failsafe. When that
did not work I also put he i686 in /usr/lib. When that did not work I
also put the JAR into [JDK home]/jre/lib/ext

But, no ports are listed and from beginning to end there is no info in
the console aside from this.

run:
Stable Library
=========================================
Native lib Version = RXTX-2.1-7
Java lib Version   = RXTX-2.1-7
Experimental:  JNI_OnLoad called.
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 31 minutes 13 seconds)

Does anyone have any suggestions on say getting a more verbose output or
ideas?

Thanks

James
