using snappy java in picard tools

[doc.ramses]

Hey,

I have a problem using picard-tools on large files. It tells me that I don't have snappyjava in java.library.
I'm not so familiar with java. Can anyone please point me on how to fix this.
I've already come across this:

http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/picard/index.php?title=Using_Snappy_in_Picard

documentation, but don't really get.
I'm on a mac os x 10.6.8

Thank you for your help!

A quick fix is to run "java -Dsnappy.disable=true -jar ...", which will disable snappy, making Picard slower. But at least you don't have to run around trying to get snappy installed correctly!

Thanks for the quick fix, that works for me. Although really slow

Snappy comes distributed with the most recent versions of picard-tools (v1.53 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/picard/files/)
It's in the top-level directory by itself. The remaining picard jar files are in a sub-directory.
