newbie question -- samples don't work?!

[Carl Woolf <cw...@allaire.com>]

Hi,

Summary: Unable to get even the first sample to work!! Help!

Just downloaded Xerces-J-1.1.2 (I know, there is a 1.1.3 that I didn't
notice yesterday, I may try that one next). Used jar to unzip, prepended
CLASSPATH with the xerces and xerces-samples jars, and tried the first,
SAXCount sample. I've pasted in stuff from my shell, please excuse the
whitespace distortion. You can see that my CLASSPATH and jdk seem to be
right. Note that at the end when I invoke java on the 'unfound' class
SAXParser, it does find it well enough to complain that there is no 'main'.

I didn't find anything germane to this problem in the archives of this
mailing list, or by searching on the Apache site.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, including pointers to existing
information that I may have missed...
