Unable to load .so file

Question

I have an application which uses one native library "libSample.so" which is depend upon another .so file.I am trying to load that library using following code

File File1 = new File("libSample.so");

static
{
     try {
            System.load(File1.getAbsolutePath());

          } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
            System.out.println("Link Error");
          }

 }

Before loading library I have tried setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH where the library is located using command line.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/usb:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

But still the library not get load. What should I do now? Please help.

How are you running your program? are you using an IDE (Eclipse, IntelliJ) to do it? — morgano, Jul 29 '13 at 10:45
@morgano I am using the Eclipse to run my program and I have also tried to setting up LD_LIBRARY_PATH through VM arguments in eclipse. — rachana, Jul 29 '13 at 10:47
@Jayan Yes this library has one dependent .so file.I have kept that dependent .so file with our .so file — rachana, Jul 29 '13 at 10:49
@rachana Why don't you try loadLibrary as I suggested in my answer? — Sajal Dutta, Jul 29 '13 at 10:53
and the way you setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH in eclipse through VM args is with java.library.path, right? — morgano, Jul 29 '13 at 10:53
Yes.I have set both path the java.library.path as well as the LD_LIBRARY_PATH through VM arguments.And It shows the right path of that location library. — rachana, Jul 29 '13 at 11:00

static {
    System.loadLibrary("libSample.so");
}

I assumed that you have your jars in /libs directory and .so file in /libs/armeabi directory so the system finds them. You do not have to add .so files in your eclipse build path.
