Hello;

When my program runs, following error was taken:

Excepiton in theard "AWT -EventQueue -1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: program.dll: Not enough storage is avaliable to process this command

[java] at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load<Native Method>
[java] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0<ClassLoader.java:1751>

How can I solve this problem...

Answer 1

This is a message from Windows indicating that you have run out of memory - not your Java heap, but the machine heap. How does the memory look on your machine while you are trying to run your app?

Answer 2

When native libraries are loaded into the JVM they are mapped into the JVMs address space and any calls they make to allocate memory do so in that address space - therefore in a 32bit world you've got a maximum of 4GB to play with.

Competing for this 4GB is the JVM and it's heap (although I believe there are limits to the heap size other than the address space that a JVM specific).

Anyway, from your comments on @akf's answer it looks like there's plenty of memory.

I'd also consider that the term 'storage' could refer to more than just memory.

From the Javadoc on java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:

Thrown if the Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native-language definition of a method declared native.

Please explain/confirm:

• is program.dll on your java.library.path and are you successfully calling other methods on it.
• what is program.dll and what are you using it for.
