ok, i finally parsed all the other emails and figured out what
was happening.

  first, my mistake in that i was convinced that i was, in fact,
working with a downloaded binary distribution, which the docs
assured me already had JAI support compiled in, so i was baffled
why FOP couldn't find the JAI libs.

  silly me.

  i'd forgotten (duh) that i'd actually downloaded a recent
CVS maintenance branch and, yes, i had built it.  i went back,
built it again, and noticed that, at the JAI step, there was
no confirmation of JAI support.

  once i copied both jai_code.jar and jai_codec.jar into 
{fop}/lib, the build then confirmed that, yes, JAI support
was being built in since the build found the JAI libs.
mystery solved.  and yes, a more informative error message
would have been handy. :-)

  just to confirm, once the build is done, i can copy fop.jar
and the two jai jar files to wherever i want, and things will
work fine.  which i seem to have just confirmed.

  and also to confirm, there is no need for the other two
JAI files?  that is, libmlib_jai.so or mlibwrapper_jai.jar?

  and, finally, does one do the same process for Jimi? 
or is that more straightforward?

  thanks for everyone's patience.  argh.

rday

p.s.  and, look ma!  no fop.sh. :-)
