In the latest release notes, there's mention of "installer version"
but no explanation of what that is.  I assumed it was one
with .bin suffix.  I downloade that to my mandrake 8.2
system and then started it; however, I got the following
error:

+ eval '"/usr/lib/jre-1.3.1_02/bin/java"' -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xmx50331648 -Xms16777216 com.zerog.lax.LAX '"/tmp/install.dir.3697/temp.lax"' '"/tmp/env.properties.3697"'

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX

Could you please tell me what I need to do to
avoid this error? TIA.

Hi Larry,
the "installer version" is one of the jars that has all the other jars in it - the opposite of the just_treebeard_vx.jar

It looks as though it can't find the lax.jar file in your classpath... let me backup.

You say you downloaded the .bin installer on mandrake so I assume you downloaded the _linux.jar version.  You might want to try the _java.jar version which is a pure java install.

The other choice (and one that will more than likely work the first time) is to add all the jars in the created directory to your classpath and then launch treebeard with 'java com.robrohan.fangorn.Fangorn'

if any of that is too vague let me know.
