Re: newbie java -classpath still not working as expected

[Aras]

I moved over to Sun's Java2 on Windows.  I verified that the -classpath switch is relative to where I run java from.  I was wondering if it might be relative to where java lives(it wasn't).  In windows I can run it like:  java -classpath /thisdir testprog or I can be somewhere else and run it thus:  java -classpath ../thisdir testprog.   The error I get with blackdown is:  Unable to initilize threads:  cannot find class java/lang/Thread   I even tried adding    jdk117_v3/lib/java/lang  to my path.  Still nogo. -----Original Message----- From: Aras <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sunday, October 24, 1999 9:01 PM Subject: newbie java -classpath not working as expected 1.  I've installed jdk117_v3.  2.  Created a test file test.java, where the class is testprog 3.  Ran javac -d /myclasses test.java  (it did create the testprog.class in /myclasses) 4.  I can run java testprog   What doesn't seem to run is if I am in a different dir and I try:     java -classpath /myclasses testprog   I get the usual "Can't find /java/Thread" or something like that.   I think my PATH var is OK.   I wonder if I need to install into /usr/local,  currently I have it unser a home dir.
