Ahhh, that explains it. Yes, I'm quite sure it worked (I used it ;) ) I have both Sun's JDK 1.5.0_06 installed, and some version of gcj. I seem to have path issues -- it was started with the correct path the first time, but not the second, so originially it was using Sun's java but was now trying to use gcj. Thanks! Evan
