Help...problems using java comm API

Question

Hi all
im using Fedora Core and in order to list all the available serial ports for my computer i'm using the classic program TestEnumeration, but when running from jbuilder 2005 not from shell i received the following errors:
Error loading SolarisSerial: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no SolarisSerialParallel in java.library.path
Caught java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: readRegistrySerial while loading driver com.sun.comm.SolarisDriver
Error loading SolarisSerial: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no SolarisSerialParallel in java.library.path
Caught java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: readRegistrySerial while loading driver com.sun.comm.SolarisDriver
warning: no ports found - make sure javax.comm.properties file is found
i have followed all the instruction to install comm API but i received the same error i need help plz if someone can
thx
