 Hi, Andrew,
 
 Thanks, I will get the latest up and running and post a follow-up. Should
 I just respond to this particular ticket number or submit a new problem
 report?
 
 Thanks much for your response.
 
 George

 To let you know: I actually had GCC 3 installed (had done it but was
 invoking the *wrong* compiler--the 2.96 version). I'm planning to write up
 a document that describes how to build a significant package and link an
 app using it together. I'll also be posting this on the list of projects
 that use GCJ.
 
 Thanks for your help and the efforts of the GCJ team.
 
 George

 First of all try a more recent version of gcj, version 3.1.1 was 
 just released about a week ago.
 If that did not work then report a correct bug report with more 
 information than saying it cannot find the classes.
 And did not report bugs from 2.96 to fsf, report them directly 
 to the vender, in your case Mandrake.

Hi, 

I realize that I might receive less than an enthusiastic response for this posting. I am the author of a book, High-Performance Java Platform Computing. We produced a threads and networking library, compatible with Java 1.1 specs (i.e. not Java 2) and not containing any GUI code. I have been looking through the docs for the proper way to compile code. The code compiles cleanly with Java 1.1 and 1.2+ compilers. When I compile with GCJ, I end up getting a bunch of messages to the effect of not being able to find the classes. I have even tried various combinations  of the  various classpath options to ensure the current directory is in the path (.).

One thing you should know is that my code is in a proper "package" (org.jhpc.thread). I don't know whether this is messing things up or not.

In any event, I would really like to get this working properly. It is a collection of abstractions for threads programming, featured in my book, and I would even like to contribute to the GCJ project if there is any interest in higher-level abstractions for concurrent and parallel computing. If anyone is willing to help me, I'll provide code. (It is also available on my SourceForge web site under GPL licensing.)
