I have seen the same error. I am running Windows, but apparently there was 
another CompilerOptions class that was conflicting with the class in 
gwt-dev. I moved gwt-dev higher on the classpath in my eclipse launch 
configuration so that it would find the gwt-dev CompilerOptions class 
first, and the error went away.
