Ubuntu 12 does not find pcsc library anymore

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Ubuntu 12 installs the pcsclite library in /lib/i386-linux-gnu/, but the result 
is that the applet cannot find the library anymore.

(Ubuntu 11 uses /lib and Debian /usr/lib, these directories are both in 
java.library.path)

Work-arounds:

- add /lib/i386-linux-gnu to java.library.path
- or add a link from /lib/libpcsclite.so.1 to 
/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1
- or copy /lib/i386-linux-gnu to /lib

Step 1: 

Ubuntu 12.04 - 64-bit
$ uname -a
Linux e300diest 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:13:26 
UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Step 2: 

apt-get install default-jre default-jre-headless pcscd openct pcsc-tools 
openjdk-7.. bla bla

download the eid-viewer.jar and tar 

Step 3: failing if you launch eid-viewer now

Step 4: 

$ apt-cache search libpcscl*
libpcsclite-dev - Middleware to access a smart card using PC/SC (development 
files)
libpcsclite1 - Middleware to access a smart card using PC/SC (library)
libpcsc-perl - Perl interface to the PC/SC smart card library
libpcscada0.7.1 - Ada bindings to PC/SC middleware
libpcscada2-dev - Ada bindings to PC/SC middleware (development)

Step 5: install those above packages then find them

$ locate libpcsclite.so.1/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.

Step 6: eat the apple now

$ export DISPLAY=:0.0 && java -Djava.library.path=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -cp 
/usr/share/eid-viewer/eid-viewer.jar be.fedict.eidviewer.gui.BelgianEidViewer

Working
