ExceptionInInitializerError in Choco 3

Question

When I try to run the example in Choco's website:

    Solver solver = new Solver();
    double PREC = 0.01d; // precision
    RealVar x = VariableFactory.real("x", -1.0d, 1.0d, PREC, solver);
    RealVar y = VariableFactory.real("y", -1.0d, 1.0d, PREC, solver);
    RealConstraint rc = new RealConstraint(
            "my fct",
            "({0}*{1})+sin({0})=1.0;ln({0}+[-0.1,0.1])>=2.6",
            Ibex.HC4,
            x, y);
    solver.post(rc);
    solver.findSolution();

I get the following output:

What would be my mistake? When I run it with IntVar s. I get no errors. When I try RealVar s, I always get errors.

You have to declare the following JVM option:

-Djava.library.path=/path/to/Ibex/lib

The path /path/to/Ibex/lib points to the lib directory of your Ibex installation directory.
