Sun JDK1.3 in Slackware

[larryliberty]

I recently (last Saturday) switched from Mandrake 7.1 to Slackware 7.1. I finally got around to trying to install Tomcat (see jakarta.apache.org) and java wouldn't work. It seems that it was expecting to see the 'cut' and 'head' commands in /usr/bin, while in Slackware they're in /bin. So I added a couple of symbolic links and it works fine!

Just thought someone might like to know...

I'm running on a slackware system and I did the same exact workaround for java jdk1.3 to work. However I'm running into troubles installing Tomcat. I'm following the instructions and it's telling me to build the servletapi. However, I'm getting errors of unknown classes but I'm absolutely positive that my classpath is correct. can anyone shed some light on this? My JAKARTA_HOME is /var/lib/jakarta, jdk1.3 is in /usr/java. I have the Java XML Parser set up correctly because I was able to compile ant.


Here are my errors:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/w3c/dom/Node
at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.runBuild(Main.java:223)
at org.apache.tools.ant.Main.main(Main.java:191)

This is my classpath that the build.sh script uses to compile the servletapi
../jakarta-ant/lib/ant.jar:/usr/java/jdk1.3/lib/tools.jar:/usr/java/jaxp1.0.1:/var/lib/jakarta/jakarta-ant/lib:/usr/java/jdk1.3/lib/

thanks,

oops, I left out the jsse .jar files from the extension. Compiling the servletapi works as it should.
