The problem is simply to tell: the native library is not build during
building classpath. Thats a bug in classpath. I made it compile and
install this helper library. Can you send me a little testcase for
testing before I commit this thingie ? I want to test if
GdkPixbufDecoder really works. The version in libgcj has a comment about
problems but doesnt tell which problems.
