Having trouble compiling/running java on linux

nejiron · 11-09-2003, 05:18 PM

I installed all the sdk's and what not, but I am still having trouble running my java programs on linux.

I get the error

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyOS

on all my files, MyOS being the name of the class where main is located.

It works on my windows machine, or if I use telnet to connect to a unix server to run it.

If anyone has any idea what may be wrong I would appreciate the help.

thanks

You might have conflicting packages installed. I have had a lot of problems running Sun java (j2se javac and java) when I had gcj installed. If that's the case you should note some non-Sun java classes mentioned in the error message.

Yep, I've ran into the same thing with gcj and Sun's JDK. The only way I've found to completely solve the problem is to remove gcj.

How do I check if gjk is installed, I don't remember adding it, so I don't think it is.

I know that Suns sdk is though.

Also, how would I remove it if it is installed.

thanks

If you have a rpm based distro you should be able to run rpm -q gcj. If it's installed you can remove it by running rpm -e gcj.

nope, its not installed

i have j2re installed along with the j2sdk

does that matter?

anyone have any other suggestions

when I do echo $PATH
this is what I get:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/user/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin:/home/joe/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/bin

It would be helpful if you could provide the full error message...

this is the full error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: (name of class goes here)

Hmm.., okay what is your classpath set to? Because, that's the only other thing that I can think of. Somehow it's not finding your class.

nejiron · 11-10-2003, 10:53 PM

/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_02/lib

is the classpath

MiscGeek · 11-10-2003, 11:22 PM

Okay, that is probably your problem. You need to include the directory or jar file that contains the class you are trying to run.

i.e java -cp ~/java/<DirName> MyClass
