Hi, I am rather foolishly attempting to run the poibrowser but am having some difficulty as currently my general knowledge of Java matters tends toward zero.
I have installed the following rpm: rpm from http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/jpackage/1.6/generic/free/RPMS/ jakarta-poi-2.5-4jpp.noarch.rpm I had to install a number of other rpms first in order to get it to install but all went well - after a very late night session :). I am assuming that because it all went in ok I know have the wherewithall to physically run the poibrowser on my suse linux box but unfortunately I am lacking a few directions at this point. To be more specific: �what do I type on my command line to get it to run. � I found an old readme by the author of the poibrowser �on http://www.rainer-klute.de/~klute/Software/poibrowser/doc/README.html and in a rather desperate attempt to get things underway tried the command line that he suggested: java de.rainer_klute.poibrowser.POIBrowser file [file...] but was met with the rather crushing response: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: de/rainer_klute/ poibrowser/POIBrowser I have spent some time trying to locate and understand relevant documentation but as I am right at the very beginning of the learning curve it is proving to be a long slog. A simple pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated.
