Cant load OpenCV libraries without root access

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt to use JavaCV objects (say, create an IplImage) without root access.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

One would expect the program to run without issues, creating the IplImage.

The output we get is the following:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load 
library 'highgui': libcv.so.2.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file 
or directory
    at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.loadLibrary(NativeLibrary.java:164)
    at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.getInstance(NativeLibrary.java:237)
    at com.sun.jna.NativeLibrary.getInstance(NativeLibrary.java:200)
    at name.audet.samuel.javacv.jna.Loader.load(Loader.java:44)
    at name.audet.samuel.javacv.jna.highgui.<clinit>(highgui.java:76)
    at com.hid.iod.imageprocessing.HidImage.<init>(TestImage.java:77)


The exact line where it fails is:
originalImage = cvLoadImage(location);

This is the first line in my code which summons a JavaCV object

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I am using Java 1.6, JDK 6, OpenCV 2.1.0, JNA 3.2.5, and JavaCV 20100730. This 
is on RedHat Enterprise Linux Server Release 5.5 (Tikanga).


Please provide any additional information below.

The opencv libraries are in /usr/local/lib64/, which has chmod 777 (rwx for 
all).

Just for clarification purposes, my code runs perfectly if I have root access. 
It is without root access that it fails.

Could you try JNA 3.2.7 and the latest version of JavaCV? Thank you

Hi Samuel,

That seemed to fix it perfectly. Thanks so much!
