my JDK installation seems to be weird. i saw a previous post relevant to
this problem in the archive but the responses i saw weren't helpful.
when i do "java HelloWorld.class" it complains about not being able to
find the class file - even if i pass the full path - until i do a
"-classpath `pwd`", or its equivalent. is this normal behavior?
then - this is the step i have not been able to solve - it complains about
not being able to find a class file called "java/lang/Thread". well, i
have tried a large number of things with the Thread.class file, including
renaming it and putting its path in classpath, putting it in ad-hoc
subdirs in the java/classes dir (where i'm trying all this), etc. i just
can't get it to find the file.
i mailed one member of this list and he told me to download some different
classes.zip file - however, it didn't appear to be on the russian server
he gave me. why the discrepancy, and what is the deal with this problem,
anyone?
i have:
JDK 1.1.6v2, glibc, i386 on Debian 2.0 (2.0.34), libc6. i don't have my
machine handy so i'm sorry i don't have the loader or X versions but i can
certainly supply them later.
i would say this problem is of fairly high severity because it prevents me
from running any program at all! it may be that it is an isolated incident
but i sure thought the install went fine and my system is not weirdly
hacked or anything.
thanks for your responses.
