[java-gnome-hackers] problems compiling the code

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hi Jeff,

Sorry for not replying back earlier. I wanted to be able to give you a 
proper update on my progress. My internet connection at home was too slow 
(or was generating too many CRC errors) for the Eclipse CVS feature to work 
properly. We had 3 day Public holidays here in Karachi. I just got back to 
my office today and was able to 'Check Out' the gconf folder from the CVS.

I am using Redhat9 with Gnome 2.2.0. I am using Eclipse 3 for development. 
Should I be working off the Gnome CVS code?

I have downloaded java-gnome 2.5.5 and have been trying to install it but I 
keep getting the following error from the configure script:
*** Unable to locate libgcj.jar needed by gcj

I understand that I need to have libgcj.jar in my CLASSPATH environment 
variable, but where is libgcj.jar ??? I can't seem to find it. I know that 
gcj works find since I have successfully compiled a java file that uses 
System.out.println and executed it. I am using RedHat9 with 
gcc-java-3.2.2-5.

I hope that someone is able to give me some directions so I can start 
pouring out some code. Thanks in advance.

- Pathan
