If you had JDK 1.1.6 installed when you got these errors, clearly not.

You shouldn't use any netscape prior to 4.06: 4.04 has a problem with some
web sites (mine couldn't tell me about the then new 4.3 Gb removable syquest
disk, 4,05 has problems with forms and I gather all prior to 4.06 have
security problems with mail.

The compilers won't make much difference to runtime speed. The fastest
compiler I've seen is jikes (www.alphaworks.ibm.com) which is about an
order of magnitude faster than javac and the compiled code of the one
program I test it on is a little faster.

jikes is now my preferred compiler. IBM has some other nice addons too
including a GUI debugger written in java.

jre failed

1998-10-04 Thread Lukito Edi Nugroho

Hi,

I tried to run an application packed in a JAR file:
$ jre -cp testq.jar QueueTest
but got the following message:

Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread
Could not create Java VM

I use jdk-1.1.6, RPM version (jdk-sbb-1.1.6-2.1.2glibc).
CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, and JDK_HOME are all
set appropriately (I think).
Am I missing something ?

TIA,
Lukito

The problem is, JRE cannot find the classes.zip file, which implies
that CLASSPATH is *not* set appropriately (alternatively, but much
less likely, is that something is wrong with your classes.zip).
