Hm, if the project needs to poke at the internal VM libraries I'm not
sure there's a clean way to do that, but an OpenJDK hacker might be
able to give you an answer.
This is a bit mysterious. I guess I don't understand why PyLucene
would want to poke at the internal VM libraries.

OpenJDK doesn't need to add its paths to /etc/ld.so.conf.d.
It calls (for example)
putenv("LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server:\
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64:\
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/../lib/amd64" + the old path.)
and re-execs java.
Right now, you should hardcode the paths to the library in your
package. See:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Java#head-61a3ee0d05ff616ef9be202...
Specifically, "If the JNI-using code calls System.loadLibrary you'll
have to patch it to use System.load, passing it the full path to the
dynamic shared object."
For an example of this see
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/devel/javasqlite/
This is necessary until we get multilib-awareness into OpenJDK upstream.
Interesting. What multilib-awareness do you think we need? It's not
immediately clear to me where the beinefit would be.
