On my ubuntu install (7.04), /usr/lib/libc.so isn't a symlink, it is a LD script - and it still fails to find the library. However, telling it to use libc.so.6 directly works fine.

We could probably tweak Function.findPath() to explicitly fallback to libfoo.so.* if libfoo.so isn't found. A bit mucky, but better to fix it in JNA if possible than have it not work for end-users because they don't have something installed.

I agree that having it work with some mucky details is better than having it fail.

How does dlopen react to the LD script? Any idea why it's there? I saw some chatter on an ubuntu list about the dlopen issue, and the developer stance was to leave it up to dlopen users to accommodate ubuntu.
