Secp256k1Context – no secp256k1 in java.library.path error

Error:

[Script verification] INFO org.bitcoin.Secp256k1Context – java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no secp256k1 in java.library.path

Solution:

When you open the Secp256k1Context class you will see that code:

System.loadLibrary("secp256k1");

This is trying to load a dynamic object library “.so” file in linux. If you don’t compile this file then you will get that error: org.bitcoin.Secp256k1Context – java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no secp256k1 in java.library.path

You have to compile secp256k1 library from bitcoin core source code.

$ git clone https://github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1
$ cd secp256k1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure --enable-jni --enable-module-ecdh --enable-experimental
$ make
$ sudo make install
