Read your FHS again I am not saying that they shouldn't be below /usr/lib, but I think that they shouldn't be right in /usr/lib. For example in /usr/lib/jni could be right. I just have reread the FHS it indeed isn't completly certain that it is right, since it says that "Applications may use a single subdirectory under /usr/lib. If an application uses a subdirectory, all architecture-dependent data exclusively used by the application must be placed within that subdirectory." So if there is already a directory holding java related architecture dependent files, it should be used instead. Seems like there are already some directories for java in /usr/lib, I don't know exactly what is their use. They are owned by jpackage-utils and are: /usr/lib/java /usr/lib/java-1.4.1 /usr/lib/java-1.6.0 /usr/lib/java-1.3.1 /usr/lib/java-1.4.2 /usr/lib/java-ext /usr/lib/java-1.4.0 /usr/lib/java-1.5.0 Maybe one of these directory is searched for for jni libraries. In that case I think it should be used instead of /usr/lib. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
