Add this to the beginning of your program:

System.out.println(System.getProperty("java.library.path"));

You should get a list of directories. Your jpcap's DLL (or so on UNIX) must be in one of these directories in order for your program to work. If it is not there, then either:

• Add the directory containing that DLL/so to your system's PATH (preferred).
• Add the DLL/so into one of the directories printed.
