installing xuggler java libraries in Tomcat on Linux

I'm trying to install xuggler Java libraries in Tomcat (version 5.5) on fedora-release-7-3

Should I install the binaries available for download on xuggler website or build my own (http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/downloads/build.jsp)?

I took the easy step first and installed the readymade binaries downloaded from http://www.xuggle.com/xuggler/downloads/ in usr/local/xuggler folder on my Linux server and then copied the jar files from share/java/jars folder to Tomcat's $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib directory (as recommended by http://wiki.xuggle.com/Frequently_Asked_Questions#I_get_an_.22UnsatisfiedLinkError.22_when_I_run_Xuggler-based_Applications_in_Tomcat These are some 6 .jar files, including xuggle-xuggler.jar

After restarting Tomcat, I'm still getting "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no xuggle-xuggler in java.library.path" exception when my Java code attempts to invoke some xuggler method such as the one to find video duration of an flv file.

What am I doing wrong? Any help is very much appreciated!

Putting the xuggle environmental variables in the startup.sh is probably one of easiest ways to get this going. Also don't forget to put the xuggle jar only in the shared / common lib or you may run into classloader issues when you attempt to use xuggler in multiple webapps.

Make sure that Tomcat can see the environment variables you have to set up with XUGGLE. In particular LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
