How to install brotli library on ubuntu xenial?

[PatrickHuetter]

I integrated jbrotli within my apache httpclient but can't use it because BrotliLibraryLoader.loadBrotli(); fails. I already installed brotli via apt-get install brotli and also compiled brotli by myself and created the symlink to the brotli.so file but it's also not working.

Couldn't load native library 'brotli'. [LoaderResult: os.name="Linux", os.arch="amd64", os.version="4.4.0-51-generic", java.vm.name="OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM", java.vm.version="25.111-b14", java.vm.vendor="Oracle Corporation", alreadyLoaded="null", loadedFromSystemLibraryPath="false", nativeLibName="libbrotli.so", temporaryLibFile="/tmp/brotli5285008184952161942/libbrotli.so", libNameWithinClasspath="/lib/linux-x86-amd64/libbrotli.so", usedThisClassloader="false", usedSystemClassloader="false", java.library.path="/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni:/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib"];

What's the correct way to install brotli on ubuntu xenial that jbrotli can make use of it?

UPDATE: I think i got it working. I was missing a dependency:
compile('org.meteogroup.jbrotli:jbrotli-native-linux-x86-amd64:0.5.0')

I didn't see this in the documentation, got it from the sourcecode and pom.xml out of the subprojects in this repository. This should be described within the documentation or README.

Hi Patrick,

thank you for your comprehensive feedback.
jbrotli brings it's own binaries via pom.xml dependencies.
If you add "org.meteogroup.jbrotli::jbrotli" to your maven or gradle build dependencies,
these build tools should automatically fetch the dependencies.

It seems to me, you're using gradle.
May I ask you to give some information about your build config?
I would like to make sure, my original intended automated dependency fetching works ;-)

• What gradle version?
• global 'gradle' or project-local 'gradlew'?
• what dependencies, when it crashed?
• what dependencies, when it worked?

Thanks in advance.
