RE: JDK 1.1.7 doesn't swing

[Craig Coles <ccoles@Keylabs.com>]

Hi Seth,

Thanks for the info, unfortunately nothing helps!  ldconfig didn't help, jar
placement hasn't helped, and the xlib6g-dev package was already installed.

Also tried getting the original 117 package from Steve Byrne's site and it
does the same thing...

Anyone with success using Swing on Debian?  What needs to be done, what am I
doing wrong?

Craig, I have three thoughts, none of which are very good. :)

1) try running ldconfig (as root). I have seen this fix problems in the
past, usually under other linux distros, but one never knows... :) 

2) try putting the swing-1.1.1.jar into the same place as your other
java stuffs -- maybe /usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/i686/green_threads

I think the accepted behavior of CLASSPATH changed somewhere along the
way, I don't have a clue what it is supposed to do these days. (Not that
I ever grasped it back in the olden days.. :)

3) try installing xlib6g-dev package.

HTH
