This is a fresh installation from Debian testing (Etch). (Well, I downgraded to gcj-4.0, and then upgraded to gcj-4.1).
It's been about a month since I've used this at all, but it was "sort of" working then. I attribute the "sort of" to my skill level. The compile command was: gcj-4.1 --main=Hello -o Hello Hello.java Yielding: gcj-4.1: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory FWIW, the Hello.java file was: public class Hello { public static void main (String argv[]) { System.out.println ("Hello, World!"); } } I suspect that this should have failed, as I suspect that I needed to import System...the example in the book didn't show any import, however, so I didn't include one. -- Summary: gcj-4.1: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory Product: gcc Version: 4.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: java AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: charleshixsn at earthlink dot net http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27764
