Sorry for what may be a trivial ?? for the Java-folks, but I'm not one myself... yet. I DL'd a package called jchempaint for my chemistry classes which is a java app. I installed java-common and kaffe, believing that to be what was need to run the program. But when I try it, I get:
daddy:~# jchempaint java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/swing/JPanel at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:native) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:52) at kaffe.jar.ExecJarName.main(ExecJarName.java:58) at kaffe.jar.ExecJar.main(ExecJar.java:59) Am I doing something obviously wrong, or missing a package? The app (which I changed to reflect the complete path to the .jar file) is: daddy:~# cat /usr/local/bin/jchempaint #!/bin/bash java -Djchempaint.home=. -jar /usr/local/bin/jchempaint.jar and its associated files are under the jar subdir there: daddy:~# ls /usr/local/bin/jar README.txt batik-util.jar jai_codec.jar sax.jar aelfred.jar cml.jar jai_core.jar vecmath1.1-1.12.jar batik-awt-util.jar compchem.jar jmdraw.jar xerces-1.2.1.jar batik-dom.jar dadml.jar junit.jar Thanks, Kenward -- It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
