gcj uses libgcj.so for linking, but when compiling your Java code it
needs to read libgcj.jar (or libgcj.zip for somewhat older versions of
gcj) too.  Think of the .jar file as the Java equivalent of C header
files...

This should be done automatically by gcj.  If this is the failure then
the odds are the libgcj.so isn't installed at all, or is installed
incorrectly.


The original report doesn't mention what version of gcj is in use, or
the system, or anything, so I can't help too much.  gcj-related
questions really belong on the `java@gcc.gnu.org' mailing list anyway.
