What you are doing is not building the recommended packages. We not guarantee that the examples will work if you do not. (I was aware this would happen but have not yet put in a workaround.)
*WHY* are you not building the recommended packages?
Because I have a single library of packages and this is a throw back to when I used the Fedora R rpm and had to be root to update the packages (I was new to Linux - what can I say) - so it was easier to not have the packages in the default library and install them into my own library in ~/
There's no reason not to do this now of course I'm just stuck in my ways :-)
I only wanted to use devel now because I wanted to check whether a problem I was having with axis.Date was still present in the devel tree before emailing the list about it. I'll build the recommended packages and try again.
Thanks for the prompt reply.
