Hi,
        You have to add classes.zip file in the 
CLASSPATH variable.  I have also read somewhere
to avoid using ~ in CLASSPATH.  Here is my CLASSPATH
variable:
        
CLASSPATH=.:/u2/jdk117_v3/lib/classes.zip:
/opt/swing-1.1/swingall.jar:/opt/CoreJavaBook:
/usr/lib/pgsql/postgresql.jar     


Hope this helps.

Trying to compile a java program for the first time on linux using the
      following:

      $ CLASSPATH=~/java:/usr/lib/jdk1.1.5/lib
      $ export CLASSPATH
      $ javac Console.java
      No library path set.
      Cannot find essential class 'java/lang/Object' in class library ...
aborting.
      $

      How do I set library path. 
      Thanks for any suggestions.

      Patt
      Au revoir
