To: java-linux@java.blackdown.org Date: Wed, 27 Dec 1995 17:28:22 -0500 (EST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 1228 Resent-Message-Id: <"eycrL1.0.nI3.JcSum"@liquor> Resent-From: java-linux@java.blackdown.org X-Mailing-List: archive/latest/785 X-Loop: java-linux@java.blackdown.org Precedence: list Resent-Sender: java-linux-request@java.blackdown.org This applies to the vesrion of Netscape compiled for Linux. I'm not sure whether this is a bug: It seems as if Netscape only allows the CLASSPATH variable only to include directories whose subdirectories contain class files. For example, I have a directory /usr/local/www/java which contains the following subdirs: awt, applet, net etc. If I define CLASSPATH to contain /usr/local/www/java, Netscape works ok. If however, I create a Java program which needs to load a class from java/awt/Graphics, however, I then need to include /usr/local/www in my CLASSPATH so the program can load the class. Netscape howver, does not like this and ends up crashing. I had to fix this problem by writing a wrapper script for Netscape which spawns a shell with the CLASSPATH variable appropriately defined for Netscape. Anyone else had this problem?> Femi. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Olufemi Anthony "Without struggle... femibyte@ritz.mordor.com there is no progress..." http://www.mordor.com/femibyte Frederick Douglas ------------------------------------------------------------------------
