The problem is that you also have an older kaffe installed (most likely
you have a RedHat Linux release)
Un-install or move the kaffe.
Also, your classpath setting is incorrect unless you actually have
classes in the /usr/lib/jdk1.1.5/lib directory. Most likely you
have a classes.zip there which would mean /usr/lib/jdk1.1.5/lib/classes.zip
However, you should not need to list classes.zip in the classpath as the
wrapper automatically adds that. Try just having classpath be ~/java
if you need it to be that.
