I use Windows NT4 and JDK1.3. I got the error message "Could not find the main class". I have found the following FAQ on your web page, but it seems to be writen for UNIX. How about WinNT ? Where is Freenet.node.Node ? best regards 5.3. Why do I get "Class Not Found" errors running the node? Most likely the setting of your CLASSPATH. Under Java VMs based on Sun's JDK 1.1, every directory, JAR, or ZIP file from which classes might be loaded (including the standard ones) must be specified in the -classpath argument on the java command line. For example, if your JDK 1.1 is in the directory /usr/jdk11, and you have built Node.class in /home/lee/Freenet, then your (Unix) command line should look like: java -classpath /usr/jdk11/lib/classes.zip:/home/lee Freenet.node.Node & Note in particular that the Freenet directory should not itself appear in the path, only the directory above it. A similar command line can be used to start the Node under JDK 1.1 for Windows, but omit the "&" and use ";" between classpath parts rather than ":". Usage under Java VMs based on Sun's JDK 1.2 or later (the "Java 2 Platform") is simpler, because you can use the -cp option to add a directory to the standard CLASSPATH: java -cp /home/lee Freenet.node.Node & A more user-friendly installation system is one of the project's current priorities. -- < Fun use net > _______________________________________________ Freenet-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freenet-dev
