The arduino port has a version of RXTX compiled against another platform included in the arduino distribution files. These java jar files are used in preference to those installed by the comms/RXTX port. However, the c library within comms/RXTX is still used, or in some cases (depending on java path settings) leads to a missing librxtxSerial.so being reported. This causes a number of problems (leading to slow serial port enumeration, and thread timing issues).
