I'm having trouble trying to run/compile java apps .... when I try to run compiled class I get the error unable to initialize thread: cannot find class /java/lang/Thread Okay I've got something screewed up when I installed swing and java here is my root profile .... maybe someone can see what the heck is wrong. I've exported the path to jdk117_v1a/bin and included a CLASSPATH to /jdk117_v1a/lib/classes.zip and the swing jar files. What else should be included. # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin ENV=$HOME/.bashrc USERNAME="root" JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java/jdk117_v1a CLASSPATH=/usr/local/java/jdk117_v1a/lib/classes.zip:/usr/local/java/swing-1.1/swingall.jar:/usr/local/java/swing-1.1/swing.jar:../.:/usr/local/java/swing-1.1/motif.jar export PATH=/usr/local/java/jdk117_v1a/bin:$PATH export USERNAME ENV PATH JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH -- [EMAIL PROTECTED](Greg Sarsons) __oooO--(_)--Oooo_____________________ / O O \ \ ~ ~ / """""
