Hi Nancy, I have just realised that you are using fop via the package manager, and not from a direct fop download - whoops! I am sorry, but I am not sure I can help with your configuration. Perhaps there is a Debian mailing list that might help? I wonder if the LOG4J_OPTS variable is used by java-wrappers.sh script referenced in the fop script? Maybe you could email the author fourm...@debian.org?
If you have no luck you could alternatively checkout fop with subversion and run that using the configuration discussed in my last response. This will require a bit more work to set things up, but it is well documented at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/quickstartguide.html I am for the confusion caused by my assumption about your fop setup!
