Can't launch a .jar java program
 

I'm new to LinuxQuestions and am hoping to get some help on a java program that I can't launch.

Trying to launch Lasyk's My Theme Creator linux distro. Unzipped file to yield 2 items: mTC.jar and lib folder. Notes say to keep lib folder with mTC.jar in same directory. Must have java 1.5 or greater. Terminal readout follows:

chris@hpdv5k:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02, mixed mode)
chris@hpdv5k:~$

chris@hpdv5k:~$ cd /home/chris/MCDApps/MTC
chris@hpdv5k:~/MCDApps/MTC$ java -jar mTC.jar

"no jdic in java.library.path" seems to be problem. A solution proposed by a java forum said "For solaris/unix/linux, put folder contains libjdic.so into the LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

Only 3 libjdic.so exist on my puter in the following folders:
/usr/lib/jni, /usr/lib/frostwire and /home/chris/MCDApps/MTC/lib/linux/x86

My Theme Creator will not even launch. I don't want to screw anything up. I can't help thinking that the mtc lib must somehow be moved to the /usr/lib/... folder.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Hi,

To do what the proposed solution says, you need to:
before running "java -jar mTC.jar"

Thank you for your reply. Yours and many other replies led me to the conclusion that the software is not compatible with 64 bit. I know the windows version works and will use on pc instead.
