The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Problem solved. Turned out the kaffe compiler was installed on the system. Thanks to a suggestion on the Java Developer Connection forums, used find and rpm commands to discover it. Uninstalled it. Now the intended Java compiler is used.
Ethan, can you tell me what you did to resolve your problem? Got any links that spell out the problem and fix? I seem to be having similar/same problem.
My compiler also craps out when using assertions too. Any idea on this one?

Sounds like you didn't use the "-source 1.4" option to javac. From the Sun web site:
Quote:
Unless you specifically request source mode 1.4 with the -source 1.4 flag, the compiler operates in source mode 1.3. If you forget to use this this flag, programs that use the new assert statement will not compile. Having the compiler use the old semantics as its default behavior (that is, allowing assert to be used as an identifier) was done for maximal source compatibility. Source mode 1.3 is likely to be phased out over time.
