Now, I'm getting "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no libname.a in java.library.path" when trying `System.loadLibrary("libname.a")` even though the file exists in the library path. Is this intended?

It may be ok. It seems to work when I use System.loadLibrary("name"). Maybe only the exception message is confusing in the previous case.
