Hi,

I'm trying to install chainsaw on a redhat linux system.  Here is what I've 
done so far:

I've downloaded the "standalone" ./sh - unix flavor of chainsaw into my 
/usr/local/bin/chainsaw directory.

I've gone to the "Important Distribution Notes" section and downloaded   the 
VFS, JMSReceiver and DBReceiver jar files into /usr/local/bin/chainsaw 
directory.

I've modified the log4j.properties file of the application we are trying to 
monitor - but not sure I've done it correctly.  Is the CHAINSAW_CLIENT referred 
to in the documentation just a variable name?  If so, what should I be putting 
in its place?

I've put /usr/local/bin/chainsaw and the directory that has the 
log4j.properties file into my CLASSPATH.

When I try to run the chainsaw application I start it with the following 
command: java -D org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.Main

I get a small (1x2 inch) GUI box that says CHAINSAW at the top.  However, I 
cannot expand the box and the box appears to be empty - essentially useless.

I've seen comments about a .chainsaw directory under /home/user - but I don't 
have one.  Should I create one?

Help!  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks so much for any help you can give me.
