Sigar UnsatisfiedLinkError

Question

I'm new to Sigar. I would like to run a simple test to know how I can monitor my system.

I added sigar-1.6.4 and log4j as external libraries, but when I go to run it, I face this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.hyperic.sigar.Sigar.getCpuInfoList()[Lorg/hyperic/sigar/CpuInfo; at org.hyperic.sigar.Sigar.getCpuInfoList(Native Method)

Here is my code:

import java.util.Map;
import org.hyperic.sigar.CpuInfo;
import org.hyperic.sigar.FileSystem;
import org.hyperic.sigar.Sigar;
import org.hyperic.sigar.SigarException;

public class Test {

    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Sigar sigar = new Sigar();
        CpuInfo[] cpuinfo = null;
        try {
        cpuinfo = sigar.getCpuInfoList();
        } catch (SigarException se) {
        se.printStackTrace();
        }

        System.out.println("---------------------");
        System.out.println("Sigar found " + cpuinfo.length + " CPU(s)!");
        System.out.println("---------------------");
    }

}

Any help would be appreciated.

I understood the problem!
I have to use the following JVM Argument:

-Djava.library.path="./lib"

in Run Configuration, Arguments tab, VM arguments in eclipse, while the contnet of sigar-bin/lib is in lib folder.

Sigar works via JNI. As such, the appropriate .so or .dll file needs to be in the path specified by the java.library.path property.

Check your sigar distribution - the zip file, I mean. Unzip it and copy the contents of sigar-bin\lib to a location accessible by your Path, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. Usually, only one file needs to be accessible per platform.

That should do the trick, if it doesn't, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

I do what you said, but still the same error, I guess I should set them as vm argument in run configuration in eclipse, but I dont know how to do it. (I mean the command I should write). Can you help please? – Narges Jul 24 '12 at 05:50

Sounds like from your answer, you eventually understood what I was saying. – Vishal Rao Jul 24 '12 at 15:25
