I am using SIGAR in a java project with Maven and Spring. I have the Maven Dependency and Maven Repository included in my pom.xml file, as described in this link:
http://mavenhub.com/mvn/thirdparty-uploads/org.hyperic/sigar/1.6.5.132
Furthermore, I am launching the program using Jetty (which launches the .war file created by mvn install).
However, SIGAR still won't work. Aparently I also need to install libsigar-amd64-linux-1.6.4.
So I downloaded that file, but now I have no idea what to do with it. How do I fix this? Where do I put that file?
Finally found the solution.
I had to download SIGAR from the official source.
Then I had to copy/paste the entire "lib" folder (with all the .so and .dll and whatnot) into the folder "main/src/webapp" of the project, which is used by Spring to store needed apps (or so I assume).
Then after running mvn install, checking the "target" folder and running the newly generated .war file, everything runs as expected.
I believe it needs to be put into your programs library folder, alongside the "sigar.jar" file.
If you plan to run your program on other OS variants, you should also have a bunch of ".dll", ".so" and ".dylib" files in the same lib folder.
Edit:
You can download sigar at the link below, it contains the lib files for all major platforms: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sigar/?source=navbar
To install sigar on Linux, here is a copy/paste option:
wget https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/sigar/sigar/1.6/hyperic-sigar-1.6.4.tar.gz
tar xvf hyperic-sigar-1.6.4.tar.gz
cd hyperic-sigar-1.6.4
# INSTALL
sudo cp sigar-bin/lib/libsigar-`dpkg --print-architecture`-`uname -s | tr '[:upper]' '[:lower]'`.so /usr/lib
@aitorhh This actually works,
**But had some errors in your code, this works:
wget https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/sigar/sigar/1.6/hyperic-sigar-1.6.4.tar.gz
tar xvf hyperic-sigar-1.6.4.tar.gz
cd hyperic-sigar-1.6.4
# INSTALL
sudo cp sigar-bin/lib/libsigar-`dpkg --print-architecture`-`uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`.so /usr/lib
just install sigar lib:
sudo apt install libhyperic-sigar-java
this works for me.
