Hi, Whatever I try, I just can't get the javac_netscape port to work! I installed the latest netscape3 port (3.0b4), then the jdk-1.0.1 port, and then the javac_netscape port, but when I try to compile something with the javac script I always get a segmentation fault! I got the same results with the previous netscape3 port (3.0b3). Applets run fine inside Netscape, but when Netscape is invoked with the "-java" option, it always seg faults (except when I follow the "-java" with "-help"). I've tried to set the CLASSPATH environment variable to about every value I can think of. The "mkfontdir" fix for XFree86 got applets working inside Netscape but it doesn't seem to help in this case. Here's basically what I get: > javac HelloWorld.java May 23 19:39:35 iago /kernel: pid 27262 (netscape.bin), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 Segmentation fault > The same exact thing happens if I run Netscape directly with "/usr/local/lib/netscape/netscape.bin -java". Of course, if CLASSPATH doesn't point to either moz3_0.zip or classes.zip then I get the following message (as expected): Unable to initialize threads: cannot find class java/lang/Thread I've tried setting CLASSPATH to all imaginable combinations of "moz3_0.zip", "classes.zip", "src.zip", and "." -- I've seen all sorts of javac scripts written by different people -- all of them seem to set CLASSPATH to include at least "classes.zip". I've also tried setting CLASSPATH to include the directories containing the .zip files, but nothing worked. I'm running the March 23, 1996 snapshot of FreeBSD 2.2. Has anyone run into this problem by any chance? Any ideas about what I can do to fix it? Should this kind of question also be posted to freebsd-hackers? Oh, I also tried using the classes.zip file from the new JDK 1.0.2. Same result though. I have no idea what the problem is. Thanks very much for any help, Pius Fischer pius@ienet.com
