Description Jonathan Bartlett 2016-07-19 14:36:30 UTC
Description of problem:

Installing Arduino on a 32-bit system crashes on startup due to bug in finding JNI library.  Even on 32-bit systems attempts to 

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Install 32-bit Fedora (I believe this is also true for 24, but only tried on 23).  Run arduino from a terminal.  See arduino crash with JNI complaint about not finding the 64-bit astyle library.

Additional info:

I believe the problem is in the RPM patch "arduino-use-system-astyle.patch".  It has the following code:

+    File libdir = new File("/usr/lib64");
+    String astylePath;
+    if (libdir.exists() && libdir.isDirectory()) {
+      astylePath = "/usr/lib64/libastyle.so";
+    } else {
+      astylePath = "/usr/lib/libastyle.so";
+    }

32-bit systems *do* have the /usr/lib64 directory, even though it doesn't have anything installed in them.  Therefore, the "true" branch will always be taken, and it will look for the 64-bit library instead of the 32-bit one.  I am not very familiar with Java and JNI, but I think you should check for the file itself.  You can probably change that to:

+    File libfile = new File("/usr/lib64/libastyle.so");
+    String astylePath;
+    if (libfile.exists()) {
+      astylePath = "/usr/lib64/libastyle.so";
+    } else {
+      astylePath = "/usr/lib/libastyle.so";
+    }
