wow. i am so glad I wrote to the list -- I *never* would have thought to check the locale. you were right -- changing back from en_US.tf8 to en_US made the errors go away. I assume the second set of errors was somehow caused by the first set -- that, being unable to access some fundamental set of java classes, javac wasn't able to interpret the mir classes properly. thank you thank you thank you! matt On Fri, Oct 25, 2002 at 11:21:55AM +0200, Pascal Mainini wrote: > Hi back! > > >My hope was that someone knowledgeable would be able to tell me what > >the errors mean. > > I'll give it a try, hope it's usefull... > > >[javac] error: compiler message file broken: > >key=compiler.err.sun.io.MalformedInputException arguments=null, null, > >null, null, null, null, null > > This is a weird thing I encountered only once before.
