It turns out this is an LD_LIBRARY_PATH issue. There is a library that does not exist in 1.4 that is tucked away off the beaten path in 1.5 beta. Once I added that directory to the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, presto it works.
For anyone interested, the library in question relative to the top level j2sdk directory is: $J2SDK/jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
