Answer 1

Java is complaining because it cannot find the native libraries (the *.so files) on your system path that Java3D comes with. Exactly how you fix this is up to you. You can do anyone one of the following:

1) Make sure that your system path includes the *.so files provided with Java3D

2) Setup your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/"path-to-java3d-libraries"/

3) Set the java.library.path when executing java: java -Djava.library.path=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/"path-to-java3d-libraries"/

To be sure you have things set correctly, add the following to your Java code and make sure the path reported contains the shared libraries on it

System.out.println("LD Library Path:" + System.getProperty("java.library.path"));
