Good point. I built my jar file like org-jython-lag.jar (lag for
latest and greatest, we'll switch over to 2.1 when it's out.) I never
crossed my mind that jython might be looking for its own jar. Duh.

Yes, it's set to the content of CLASSPATH (and maybe some other
things.) So with that pointing to our libgcj.jar archive, I don't need
the `java' symlink.

Yes it was. Thanks!

So, bottom line. The problem was simply that I didn't have CLASSPATH
set properly. I didn't cross my mind that a extremely dynamic
environment like jython needed pointers to the archives it was going
to explore. Duh.

So when I position CLASSPATH to point to our runtime jar and the
distributed jython jar, jython works regardless of the location it was
started from.

However, if I use the jython jar we generated with gcj (gcj can also
go to bytecodes,) I get errors, but now that's my problem :-)

Thanks a lot everyone for your help!
