SimpleOpenNI Library not loading in Processing

[Amanda Wood]

Hi there for some reason I keep getting this error. I've followed all the instructions to load SimpleOpenNI into Processing but get this error with every example.

Can't load SimpleOpenNI library (SimpleOpenNI) : java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /Users/macowner/Documents/Processing/libraries/SimpleOpenNI/library/libSimpleOpenNI.jnilib:  Library not loaded: ../../Bin/x64-Release/libOpenNI.dylib   Referenced from: /Users/macowner/Documents/Processing/libraries/SimpleOpenNI/library/libSimpleOpenNI.jnilib   Reason: image not found

Verify if you installed SimpleOpenNI correctly.

Hi, 

I found a very simple solution to resolve SimpleOpenNI exception
'Exception in thread "Animation Thread" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: SimpleOpenNI.SimpleOpenNIJNI.swig_module_init()V '

1. Go to System Properties -> Advanced -> Environnement Variables
2. In 'System variables', search and modify 'Path' variable
3. Add a path to the SimpleOpenNI32.dll in the end of 'Path' variable.

By default : SimpleOpenNI32.dll is located at %SimpleOpenNI% Folder ...\Processing\libraries\SimpleOpenNI\library\

Hope it will be useful to you! 

I don't know in Mac OS how to change System Variables but it uses Linux Kernel, I think it is same of change PATH (system variable) in Linux. And in Linux, SimpleOpenNI file needed is : libSimpleOpenNI32.so or libSimpleOpenNI64.so

Cheers.

I got my solution after reading this article:
