Strange Compilation Problem

[karthikeyan]

Dear All,     I have a strange compilation problem.  I am able to compile a java program here on WinNT(jdk1.3) Platform without any problems but the same program I am not able to compile on Ret Hat Linux 7.1(jdk1.3.1_02).     Now to compile this program I need to include a jar file (somname.jar) in the classpath.  Which I did on both the environment.     For WinNT     set classpath=%classpath%;c:\karthik\cc.jar;     For Linux     CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/cc.jar   export CLASSPATH     But on Linux platform I am getting the following errors :     for package name it says - package somepackagename does not exist     and for classes that comes inside the package which ofcourse is being used by this program   I am getting     cannot resolve symbol error.       Now could you believe it I know that if I put any jar files inside     c:\JAVA_HOME\jre\lib\ext\     the above directory I do not need to set classpath for the jar files inside those directory, it will be taken automatically when compiling.  Which worked for WinNT environment.  But the same thing if I do for Linux it doesn't work.     Now we can specify classpath when we are trying to compile like this.     javac -classpath <path> - but this works well for directories but not for .jar files.     Now what I am doing wrong here.      Looking forward for yours response.   karthikeyan.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Judge not, that ye be not Judged - Abraham Lincoln's favorite quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
