It seems that Java could not find the classes (in com.ibm.speechapps.*). I don't think that the rpm package (alien) would install the jar filescorrectly (in the right places) in Debian. You can try to put the jar files from the rpm in /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/jre/lib/ext. The jar files in the ext directory will always be loaded by the JVM; will be searched in, to be exact. Oki
Thank you, Oki.Perhaps my Java installation is not complete anyway? I don't seem to have a dir "/usr/lib/j2sdk1.3/", just
:/usr/lib# locate j2s /usr/lib/j2re1.3/bin/j2sdk-config /etc/j2sdk1.3 /etc/j2sdk1.3/psfont.properties.ja /etc/j2sdk1.3/security /etc/j2sdk1.3/security/java.security /etc/j2sdk1.3/security/java.policy /etc/j2sdk1.3/flavormap.properties /etc/j2sdk1.3/font.properties /etc/j2sdk1.3/font.properties.ja /etc/j2sdk1.3/font.properties.zh /etc/j2sdk1.3/jvm.cfg /etc/j2sdk1.3/tzmappings /etc/j2sdk1.3/content-types.properties /var/lib/dpkg/info/j2sdk1.3.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/j2sdk1.3.postrm and, perhaps more like it, :/usr/lib/j2re1.3/lib/ext# ls -a . .. jai_codec.jar jai_core.jar mlibwrapper_jai.jar registryFile.jaiShould I just put the jars into the latter dir, or create the path you mentioned?
