VisualSoar cannot connect to soar debugger. #33

I followed all the steps in the Visual Soar Users Manual. I ran Visual Soar via the shell script, I checked to make sure that the bin/java folder is present, and that it contains sml.jar, and that libSoar.so is present in the bin folder itself. I checked the script to make sure it was managing to set the path correctly, and it was. By all accounts, the thing should work, but when I click connect in VisualSoar, it shows 'Exception when initializing the SML library. Check that SML.jar is on the path along with soar library."

This is on Xubuntu 24.04, using SoarSuite_9.6.3-Multiplatform, and java 21.

Thanks for reporting!

I discovered recently that this has been broken since 2017. I have fixed it already, and you can download a fixed version of VisualSoar from one of the recent builds like this one.

Fixing it in the Soar distribution will have to wait for the next release, whenever that might be.
