Hello, I was happily using jwnl in windows with WordNet 2.0, but for it to work in my Mac I had to copy some dictionary files from the WordNet 2.1 (i.e. java.io.FileNotFoundException: ./wordnet/2.0/dict/index.adv (No such file or directory)).. However now I have a null pointer exception in:

public RelationshipList demonstrateAsymmetricRelationshipOperation(IndexWord start, IndexWord end,
            int sensestart, int senseend) throws Exception {
       
        // Try to find a relationship between the first sense of <var>start</var> and the first sense of <var>end</var>
        RelationshipList list = RelationshipFinder.getInstance().findRelationships(start.getSense(sensestart), end.getSense(senseend), PointerType.HYPERNYM);
        return list;
    }
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at net.didion.jwnl.data.PointerTarget.getPointers(PointerTarget.java:39)

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Vanessa.
