Yes, moving batik-squiggle.jar and batik-rasterizer.jar up one directory from /usr/share/batik/lib to /usr/share/batik did the trick!
I am using Gentoo Linux 1.4. I created an ebuild (script for installing source tarballs) for Batik 1.5 from an ebuild for Batik 1.1.1. Basically, just copied it and adapted it for the 1.5 tarball. I suspect version 1.1.1 didn't have squiggle and rasterizer. I dunno as I'm new to Batik as of this week. I'll submit a bug report to the Gentoo maintainers and ask them to look at my ebuild, make corrections, and bring a working Batik 1.5 to the Gentoo community. Thank you for your response, Thomas. Cheers!
