Sorry no subj: ClassNotFoundError

[Stephen Aras <st...@stevearas.com>]

When I try to run build.sh I get the error below.  Originally, I had the jdk
in a dir /usr/local/j2sdk1.3 but I noticed the build script was looking for
it in /usr/local/jdk/j2sdk1.3  I didn't want to chance changing the path to
/usr/local/j2sdk1.3  so I just copied the whole dir into
/usr/local/jdk/j2sdk1.3  and changed JAVA_HOME and the CLASSPATH.  The error
is confusing because my apps in Forte still work perfectly so that path must
be good (right?)  Ya got me.  I think I'll get a tattoo on my forehead that
says "Clueless".  Any help appreciated.

OS:  RH6.2

postgres@localhost sample]$ ./build.sh
This is JAVA_HOME
/usr/local/jdk/j2sdk1.3

Couldn't find or load essential class `java/lang/Object'

Lastly, I'm really really lost here.  I don't even know if this is what I
should be trying at all.  My goal is to get something working.  I'll be able
to move on but right now I don't even know if TomCat is running.  I do use
TomCat startup scripts provided.  I feel like a moron.  Hopefully, soon I
won't.
