Bluetooth – bluecove library not available – error using bluecove / Java

How do I install bluecove in the Ubuntu 11 / eclipse ide?

As far as I know, all I have to do is bring bluecove Jar and bluecove GPL Jar is added to the build path of the project in eclipse

I'm using some sample bluecove Code: http://bluecove.sourceforge.net/bluecove/apidocs/overview-summary.html#DeviceDiscovery

When I compiled it, I received an error: native library bluecove_ Exception javax in x64 unavailable thread "main" bluetooth. Bluetoothstateexception: bluecove library is not available

Obviously, when I did this, my Bluetooth USB dongle was inserted... I must have installed the BlueZ protocol stack

What on earth did I do wrong? Is bluecove supported on 64 bit Linux? I have been trying to install it on CentOS 5.5 machine, but I have no luck

Any help would be appreciated thank you

Solution

I found a solution to the problem

For Ubuntu version

sudo apt-get install libbluetooth-dev

For Fedora version

yum install bluez-libs-devel

The trick you should do

Source: http://bluecove.org/bluecove-gpl/

The package has a different name in CentOS 5.5... It is

bluez-libs-devel-3.7-1.1.x86_64  <---64-bit
bluez-libs-devel-3.7-1.1.i386  <---32-bit
