I found the problem by trying "java -version". I have a Debian system,
and it seems that some package dependency resulted in the installation of
the GNU Java runtime "gij". This was in the path in front of the Sun
Java, so I was running the wrong interpreter. The fix is to either put
the Sun Java directory at the beginning of the path, or change
/etc/alternatives/java to point to the Sun interpreter.
thanks,
Steve Gaarder
