The CLASSPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH are set so that the classes.zip
file and the native libs are visible to the JVM. I know for a fact
that my configuration works because I can run the exact same code
under Solaris and it works perfectly. I just do not see how this
could be anything except a bug in the Native threads port of 1.1.7
from blackdown. I am not blaming anyone, the readme says the native
threads stuff is "beta" and has not been tested. I just want to know
if there is anyone out there that actually doen have the native threads
stuff working on a linux box.
