UnsatisfiedLinkError with sqlite4java, no sqlite4java-osx-amd64

Question

I am having a similar issue to this problem:

UnsatisfiedLinkError with sqlite4java Jar on Mac OS X NetBeans

I am running a script that uses sqlite, and while I am able to successfully run sqlite3 through the command line, I always get this error when I try to run the script:

SEVERE: [sqlite] SQLiteQueue[master.catalog]: error running job queue
com.almworks.sqlite4java.SQLiteException: [-91] cannot load library: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no sqlite4java-osx-amd64 in java.library.path

When I run "java -jar sqlite4java.jar -d" in my lib folder, I see this:

Does anyone have any ideas as to what I am missing?

Have you actually checked that the library is on the `java.library.path`? — Mark Rotteveel, May 01 '14 at 17:06

After I updated the dependencies in the Projects build.gradle it worked again. I don't know what in detail it fixed. — Samuel, Mar 27 '23 at 11:35

Your java.library.path does not include the current directory.

The default on my OSX box is:

/Users/MY_USERNAME/Library/Java/Extensions:/Library/Java/Extensions:/Network/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java:.

But yours reads

/Users/MY_USERNAME/Library/Java/Extensions:/Library/Java/Extensions:/Network/Library/Java/Extensions:/System/Library/Java/Extensions:/usr/lib/java

Note the :. at the end of the first line.

You should be able to get it to work by either running

java -Djava.library.path=. -jar sqlite4java.jar

Or by copying *.jnilib files from sqlite4java-282.zip into any directory in java.library.path (e.g. /Users/lee33/Library/Java/Extensions)

Or by adjusting the path for the project in an IDE of your choice:

UnsatisfiedLinkError with sqlite4java, no sqlite4java-osx-amd64
