Hi there,

I installed JDK 1.3.1 from ports and set my library search paths
with ldconfig.  However, if I try to run any of the java binaries
from /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin, I get unpredictable results (appletviewer
just exits quietly, for example) although javac seems to work.  Truss
gives me no clues.

If I remove that directory from my $PATH and instead add
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/i386/green_threads/ I get

Error: could not find Java 2 Runtime Environment.

Maye I'm just being dense here, but am I missing something?  I've
tried reinstalling from scratch.

Cheers,

-John
