bash-2.05b# javac
Failed to locate native library "libnative" in path:
        /usr/local/lib/kaffe:/usr/local/lib
Aborting.

sure looks like it's there:
-------------------------
bash-2.05b# locate libnative
/usr/local/lib/kaffe/libnative.a
/usr/local/lib/kaffe/libnative.la
bash-2.05b#

I even tried copying libnative.a to /usr/local/libnative.a 
No dice. 
Clearly, I am doing something dumb, but I don't know what it is. 

Suggestions? Flames? Haiku?
