I don't know how far I can get in debugging this at this point, as my knowledge of how to debug mozilla is rather scanty, but I offer the observation that the 'java_vm' executable gets placed into the 'native_threads' section of the filepath where no other files seem to be located. quid:~/src/jdk-1.3.1/j2sdk1.3.1/build/bsd-i386$ find . -name java_vm -print ./bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm ./jre-image-i386/bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm ./jdk-image-i386/jre/bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm ./jdk-image-i386/bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm That raise any flags to anybody? -- Mark Evenson "A screaming comes across the sky.
